Make a Planned Gift and Join Care Resource's Legacy Society

Your gift will help Food for Life Network ensure our mission for future generations and will help you fulfill your philanthropic goals.

Thank you for considering Food for Life Network and Care Resource in your estate plan. The Care Resource Legacy Society is open to individuals who have named Care Resource or Food for Life Network as a beneficiary of their will, estate plans, charitable gift annuities or charitable trusts, and who donate a planned gift of $5,000 or more.  

As a member, you will have a broad range of options for planned giving, plus the potential for significant financial benefits and tax advantages.  You will join a community of other individuals who have committed to share our vision of providing high-quality medical services and serve as a leading healthcare provider in our community to the uninsured and underinsured low-income minority populations.

How Planned Gifts Are Used

Your gift will be used at the discretion of the Board of Directors for the highest priorities of the organization. If you wish to restrict your gift to a specific project or program, please consult with our Development staff.  You may make your gift in your name, or you may memorialize a loved one with your contribution.
