LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY

Planned giving to the Food Bank of South Jersey offers a powerful way to create a lasting impact on your community. By including FBSJ in your estate plans, you ensure that your generosity continues to provide essential support to families facing hunger.

One straightforward option is to name the Food Bank of South Jersey as a beneficiary in your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or bank account. This type of beneficiary designation is easy to arrange and can significantly impact our ability to deliver nutritious food to those who need it most. Another effective way to give is through gifts of stock. Donating appreciated securities not only helps FBSJ but also offers you significant tax advantages, such as avoiding capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction.

Bequests are a popular planned giving option, allowing you to designate a specific amount or a percentage of your estate to FBSJ in your will or living trust. This method ensures that your legacy of compassion continues well beyond your lifetime. Additionally, charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts offer ways to give that provide you with income during your lifetime while making a future impact on the Food Bank of South Jersey.

By including the Food Bank in your planned giving, you join a community of dedicated supporters committed to fighting hunger and fostering hope. Your thoughtful contributions can make a significant difference, ensuring that no one in South Jersey goes hungry. Together, we can create a future where every family has access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
