Leave a Legacy

What will your legacy be?

Leaving a legacy gift in your Will to The Food Sharing Project is an act of caring and compassion for your entire community. You can designate a certain sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of your estate. Whatever form your gift takes the result is the same – providing healthy food to students who need nutrition, in a stigma-free, accessible environment and ultimately improving their readiness to learn.

A legacy gift is a way to make a lasting difference for students in our community. By including The Food Sharing Project in your will, you can help ensure students across KFL&A continue to have access to nutritious food for years to come.

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.
