A Bequest to Further Good Work
Nancy and David Atkins were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen many individuals impacted by the good work of our organization. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future support to continue our mission. More on A Bequest to Further Good Work >>.


Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.


Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.


Deferred Gift Annuity
Several years ago Larry and Allison invested $30,000 in what they believed to be an attractive stock. It turned out to be a very wise decision, because the value of the stock increased to $100,000 a few years later. More on Deferred Gift Annuity >>.
