October is here, and fall is in full swing across Delmarva! From cooler days and Friday night football to fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and Halloween fun, it’s a season centered around family, traditions, and time together. It’s also a meaningful reminder to think beyond today—life insurance can help provide financial security for the people you love and the future you’re building together.

October also brings Fire Prevention Week, October 4–10. This year’s theme, “Charge Into Fire SafetyTM. Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” is a timely reminder to practice safe charging habits with the phones, laptops, power tools, and other rechargeable devices we use every day. As you enjoy all that fall brings, keep safety in mind at home and make the most of the season with the people who matter most. From all of us at the Kim Benton Agency, we wish you a wonderful October!

My family has called Sussex County home for four generations, and I'm honored to serve my Millsboro neighbors as a local State Farm agent. Since opening my agency in 2015, I've helped individuals, families, and business owners protect what matters most with personalized insurance plans built around their unique needs.

I proudly work with customers throughout Delaware, including Millsboro, Long Neck, Dagsboro, Gumboro, Georgetown, Phillips Hill, Zoar, and Stockley. As our agency has grown, we've also expanded our reach and are now licensed to serve customers in Maryland, helping families and businesses on both sides of the state line with their insurance needs.

I'm an excellent resource for people relocating to the area. Having lived in Millsboro my entire life, I love sharing recommendations and helping newcomers feel at home. Building lasting relationships with my customers is one of the greatest parts of my job, and my goal is always to make sure people feel confident in their coverage and the decisions they're making for their future.

I work alongside a friendly, licensed team that believes our customers are part of the family. Together, we provide exceptional service and support while helping with auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, small business insurance, financial services, and more.

Giving back to the community is incredibly important to me. In addition to participating in Quotes for Good, I coordinate food and school supply drives, volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, sponsor our local Little League, and enjoy cheering on our high school sports teams. I'm also very active with the Millsboro Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations that help make our community stronger.

When I'm not at the office or volunteering, you'll usually find me spending time with my wonderful family. If you're looking for a local agency that combines hometown service with the ability to help customers across Delaware and Maryland, stop by or give us a call today for a free quote.
