Join Us for Write A Will Month!

Together, the Community Food Bank, Council on Aging Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Tucson, Literacy Volunteers of Tucson, Pima Community College and YMCA Foundation are hosting free seminars on writing a will.

It has been said that a person will work more than forty years to accumulate assets, will spend ten years conserving what has been accumulated, but will spend almost no time planning how it will be distributed after their lifetime. One of the greatest burdens to a family is the economic chaos created by someone’s death. Having an up-to-date will can alleviate that burden.Community Food Bank, together with our partners Council on Aging Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Tucson, Literacy Volunteers of Tucson, Pima Community College and YMCA Foundation, and in conjunction with LEAVE A LEGACY® Southern Arizona, is pleased to present Write A Will information sessions during March 2007, as a community education program.

Attorneys Robby Adamson, Ben Burnside, Chris Mathis and Kay Richter are volunteering their time to present the material.

Who should come? All Community Food Bank friends, staff and volunteers who are interested in learning more about making or updating a will, how to protect even the most modest estate, or ways they can formalize their wishes and ensure those wishes are known and respected. 

The workshop is a 60 to 90 minute interactive session that includes a question and answer component and a complimentary workbook, “A Guide to Planning Your Will or Trust” for recording important information regarding the preparation of your will. Light refreshments will be served.

Call the Community Food Bank for more information or to register for a session at 622-0525 ext. 492.

Spring Training Game

Come out for a day of fun and help your community!

“If a man from Rhode Island is willing to help fight hunger in your community, won’t you please consider donating?”

The Rhode Island philanthropist, Alan Shawn Feinstein, will add money to monetary or food donations given to the Community Food Bank between March 1 and April 30.

For the tenth year in a row, Feinstein will divide $1 million nationwide among agencies involved in the fight against hunger that use it to help them raise funds during March and April 2007.

Every anti-hunger organization in the U.S. can earn a share of the $1 million – up to $50,000. Each dollar collected is worth $1, and each pound of food collected is also worth $1 in this annual challenge to fight hunger.
