Planned Giving

Planned giving is the process of thoughtfully including a charitable gift in your estate plans. It allows you to support the Pantry while providing for your current financial needs. You are even able to designate the funds for general operating, endowment, or a specific Pantry program.

Every planned gift is different, but no matter the size of any individual donation, collectively, every gift adds up to helping ensure the Worthington Resource Pantry is here for generations to come.

Common Ways to Give

  • Gifts through will or trust

  • Gifts through retirement plans

  • Gifts through life insurance policies

To learn more about your giving options or if you have already included the Worthington Resource Pantry in your estate plans, please contact our Development Staff or submit your signed Confidential Bequest Intent Form.

We recommend discussing your planned giving with options with your financial or legal advisor to determine the best option for you.

“Legacy planning is what I really care about. By donating funds to an endowment supporting the Worthington Resource Pantry, I am putting forth a statement about my passion - to ensure the hungry are fed. To put it in my will is to put forth a final statement about what I cared about.”

- Harry Pukay-Martin

With planned giving, you have the power to make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and families in need.
