coupleHelp ensure Our Family's future with a lasting endowment gift =

  

Make sure quality services for at-risk children, homeless youth, families in crisis and homebound elderly people are here for years to come with a gift to the Our Family Endowment. 

 

Gifts to the endowment are permanently restricted, which means they will never be spent. Only the proceeds from judicious investment of those funds will be used to provide ongoing support for the programs and services our community needs. As the endowment grows, this will help reduce Our Family's reliance on government funding and one-time private donations.

 

You can designate any gift to the Our Family Endowment, including a legacy gift through a will, charitable trust or annuity. Even young people can choose to designate a small portion of a life insurance policy or retirement plan.

 

Join us for a free Write-A-Will Workshop to learn more. Workshops will be held  4-5:30 p.m. March 15 at St. Phillips in the Hills or 10-11:30 a.m. March 16 at Child & Family Resources. Space is limited. Please RSVP today to Development Director Lana Baldwin at 323-1708 x 124.

Our homeless youth programs need good, used furniture

 

The homeless youth in our housing programs come to us with almost nothing but the few personal possessions they can carry with them. Recent increases in the capacity of our programs have depleted our supply of community donations and we can't completely furnish all of our units.

 

Can you donate any of the following items we urgently need?

 

  • Beds, mattresses and box springs
  • Dinner tables, coffee tables
  • Chairs, couches, love seats
  • Dressers, armoires, vanities
  • Book shelves, entertainment centers
  • Small desks
  • Cribs, bouncers, bassinets, toddler beds

It helps us most if you can drop off your items where they are needed, but we can also arrange pickup. Contact Ricardo Fernandez at 323-1708 x 112 to see if we can use your item. Thank you.
