Legacy Giving at Senior Services

What will you keep possible?

At Senior Services, what matters is showing up for people, especially older adults with food insecurity, with memory challenges, or individuals simply needing opportunities for socialization, care, and well-being. We help older adults remain at home for as long as possible and help them age with purpose live with dignity, while also providing respite and support for the care partners in their lives. 

Consider how you might keep possible:

• A Meals-on-Wheels volunteer showing up at the door with a hot meal, a smile, and a vase of flowers.
• A care partner having somewhere safe and joyful for Mom or Dad to spend the day.
• Someone answering the Help Line to guide next steps for concerned families and individuals.
• An individual living alone getting help remaining at home.
• People gathering around tables to make art, music and conversation at the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness.

Keep Showing Up

You have spent a lifetime showing up for the people, places, and causes that matter to you. After your lifetime, you can still show up at the door with a meal. You can still give a caregiver room to breathe. You can still help an older adult stay connected to the community they call home. Because a lifetime of caring doesn’t have to end.  Your care can keep showing up with a legacy gift to Senior Services.

What do you want to keep possible?

I want older adults to remain at home.
Your legacy can help bring meals, care, guidance and support directly into people’s lives.

I want caregivers to have support.
Your generosity can help families find respite, answers and reassurance.

I want older adults to remain part of community life.
Your gift can create opportunities for creativity, friendship, learning and intergenerational connection.

I want Senior Services to be here for generations.
An unrestricted or endowed legacy can give future leaders the resources to respond to needs we cannot yet see.

Legacy doesn’t have an age requirement.

You don’t have to be retired.
You don’t have to have a large estate.
And you don’t have to know exactly what the future holds.

A legacy gift can begin with something as simple as including a percentage for Senior Services in your will or naming Senior Services as a beneficiary of an IRA or other account. As your life changes, your plans can change, too.

Take care of the people you love. Then consider leaving a percentage of what remains to the community you love.  Showing up with a 1%, 5%, or larger gift can ensure that your care continues for generations to come.

What would you like your legacy to say about the life you lived? 

• What has mattered most to you?
• What kind of community do you want your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews to inherit?
• Who do you want cared for after the people closest to you are provided for?
• What organizations have earned your trust?
• Could one final act of generosity reflect the way you chose to live?
