Shelter Insurance Company is a mutual insurance company which focuses on Auto, Property, Business, and Life Insurance. It operates in fifteen U.S. states and the headquarters is in Columbia, Missouri.
Shelter was founded in 1946 as the insurance subsidiary of the Missouri Farmers Association (the same company as MFA Incorporated), and was called MFA Mutual Insurance Company.[1] The Shelter name came from the company's most famous slogan, "M.F.A is your Shield of Shelter". In 1981, the name was changed to Shelter Insurance Companies.[2] The company's headquarters remained in Columbia. The Shelter Insurance Gardens are located at the company headquarters in Columbia.[3]
