Make-A-Will Month: Leave a Legacy of Hope

As we celebrate Make-A-Will Month this August, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you wish to leave behind. Your will is more than a legal document; it is a powerful opportunity to express your values and impact the lives of others in your community. At the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank (FRFB), we believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food. With your help, we can continue our mission to reduce hunger in the Central Rappahannock River Region.

Why Consider a Bequest?

A bequest is a generous way to support our mission while ensuring that your loved ones are cared for. By including the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank in your will, you not only help us provide meals for those in need today but also create a lasting legacy demonstrating your commitment to fighting hunger in our community.

Here are some key benefits of making a bequest:

1. Flexibility: You can choose to leave a certain percentage of your estate, a fixed sum, or specific assets to the food bank, allowing you to tailor your gift to your financial situation.
2. Tax Advantages: Bequests can reduce the taxable portion of your estate, potentially providing financial advantages for your beneficiaries.
3. No Immediate Impact on Your Finances: Unlike other types of charitable gifts, bequests can help you support the FRFB without affecting your current financial situation.

How Your Gift Can Make a Difference

Every dollar contributes to reducing hunger in our community. A bequest can help us:

• Expand Our Food Programs: Your support can enable us to provide more nutritious food to individuals and families in need, from kids to seniors.
• Mobilize Resources: Consistent funding can allow us to invest in partnerships and initiatives that address hunger's root causes.
• Build a Sustainable Future: Your gift could help FRFB ensure that we can continue to serve our community long into the future.

Join the Fight Against Hunger

This Make-A-Will Month, we encourage you to consider how your legacy can contribute to a world where no one goes hungry. With your support, Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank can continue to unite our community and work toward lasting solutions to hunger.
