When you give, a family unwraps joy. What will be your legacy? Nancy and David were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen many individuals helped by the good work of The Salvation Army. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future resources to continue its mission. Dave: The work of the army was important to us and we provided support with current gifts, but wanted to do more. We received a letter outlining all the various estate tools The Salvation Army offered. We decided we could make a gift from our estate and join their legacy society. We saw a picture of smiling people just like us and we wanted to be part of that group. Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills and we each included a provision for a bequest. Our lawyer put language in the will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to The Salvation Army. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them. We shared our intentions with the Planned Giving Counselor. We will continue to make gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future of our local community.
