Planned Giving

To create a legacy that expresses your desire to help your hungry neighbors – even after your lifetime – you will want to carefully consider several important factors, including the assets to be used to fund the gift, the gift’s timing, effects on income-tax and financial planning, the impact on family members and friends, and the gift’s purpose.

A legacy gift is best made with the counsel of your legal, tax, or financial advisor. The information provided here is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered investment, legal, accounting, tax, or other professional advice.

Please let us know if you establish a future or planned gift to benefit the River Valley Regional Food Bank in time, so that we can say “thank you” now.  Contact Heather Culnane, Finance Director, with questions or for more information. All inquiries will be treated confidentially.  Phone: 479/785-2303 EXT. 119.

Help ensure that future generations grow up healthy, not hungry,
by including a gift in your will or estate plan to the River Valley Regional Food Bank.
