Did you know you can support your community through a gift in your Will?
By adding simple language to your will, you can elect to specify a dollar amount or set a percentage of your estate to be given directly to North York Harvest Food Bank.
A gift in your Will or bequest will make a lasting impact for individuals and families in your community well into the future.
Rooted in the communities we serve, North York Harvest Food Bank addresses the immediate and vital need for emergency food support, while also advocating for long-term solutions and working to address the root causes of poverty – the true source of food insecurity in our city.
Your Will is Powerful
By designating a gift in your will to North York Harvest Food Bank, we will have the additional resources required to cultivate a sustainable future, one that builds capacity and extends beyond emergency food support. This is your opportunity to assist families struggling with food insecurity in a meaningful way, and help build a brighter future for everyone.
Speaking with your family about your plan to make a gift through your will and why it is important to you is an essential step when you are designating a legacy gift. Family members may have questions about your decision and this gives everyone an opportunity to understand the impact and meaning of your gift.
Along with having a discussion with your family members, speaking with your professional advisors will help you in organizing and planning your legacy gift.
Leaving a Legacy – Anne’s Story
As one of North York Harvest’s longest, most beloved supporters, Anne strongly believed in the need for nourishing children. Her care for her community and the opportunity North York Harvest gave to children and families was evident in her ongoing support.
As Anne had shared,
“When children are deprived of food they are also deprived of a future.”
Leaving a legacy gift to North York Harvest was Anne’s way of giving back to her community and helping future generations.
Anne’s legacy and tremendous support will remain with us and continue to have a lasting impact.
