Legacy Gifts

As much as we hope that one day homelessness will become mere memory of days gone by, we sadly recognize that we may not see this day in our lifetimes. Leaving a gift to PADS in your will can help to ensure that our neighbors have the support they need to get out of homelessness and into housing in the future.

In just a few minutes, you can make a lasting impact at PADS Lake County. Simply name PADS Lake County as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as the following:

  • IRAs or retirement plan
  • Life insurance policy
  • Commericial annuity

Here’s how to name PADS Lake County as a beneficiary:

  • Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form.
  • Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like Feeding America to receive and name us, along with the percentage you chose, on the beneficiary form.
  • Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution.
