What will your legacy be?
Over the years, The Food Sharing Project has been able to invest in the future and plan for the long-term thanks to legacy gifts. Bequests have helped us fund critically important projects like the purchase of our second delivery vehicle or enhancing kitchen facilities in schools.
To include a bequest to The Food Sharing Project in your Will, speak with your lawyer
and trusted advisors. We have created materials to help you understand and consider
how you can make a lasting impact through an ultimate gift. Making a Legacy Gift to
The Food Sharing Project provides an overview of what we do and ways you can
make a bequest.
We’ve also created tools that you or your lawyer can use. A Codicil can be used to
amend your Will. We’ve also provided some Charitable Bequest Sample Wording for
writing or making changes to your Will. And finally, we want to thank you and recognize
your intentions. If you are including The Food Sharing Project in your legacy plans,
please send us a Legacy Gift Intention and Recognition Form.
All of these documents are available here to download. Lawyers and financial advisors
across Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington will be provided with paper
copies at their office and access to these documents and forms. And you can always
make arrangements to drop in to our office to talk about your wishes and pick up paper
copies.

Funding for the material available here was generously provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

How You Can Help
Thank you, from the bottoms of our bellies.
– JG Simcoe PS Kindergarten studentsWow, look at this food. They really care about us.
– A secondary school student overheard by a teacherHonestly, having the grab and go station in the school just helps me make it to class.
– Secondary school studentI don’t know why, but math is easier after I have something to eat.
– Elementary studentI saw the student putting a few extra cartons of milk in his backpack, so I gently asked why, and he said he was taking it for his siblings because, "school is the only place we can get fresh milk."
– Secondary school teacher“Just a note to say thank you and your helpers for all you have done for myself and my family. You don’t have to do anymore I think we will be okay for now.”
