Here is your chance to make a meaningful impact in the East Bay by joining Share the Spirit’s Legacy Circle.

A Legacy Circle gift is an excellent way for you to leave a lasting legacy to further Share the Spirit’s impact in providing meaningful help during the winter months to those in need. With your support, you ensure continuation of important work of providing programs that support so many through lean times, help connect those in need to valuable resources, food, shelter, clothing, and enable Share the Spirit to provide help and hope to those in crisis for years to come.

Your estate planning attorney can include a provision in your will that leaves a lasting gift to us. It could be a gift of a specific asset, a dollar amount, or a percentage of your estate. You could also designate us as full or partial beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank or investment account.

Please contact us to learn about all the benefits of making a gift to help us continue this important work.
