Part Gift and Part Sale
Sue and Jim Wilson bought their first home many years ago. As they were landscaping in the yard, painting and fixing up that home, Jim was impressed with the home improvement store. More on Part Gift and Part Sale >>.

Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.

Nancy and David Atkins were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen many individuals impacted by the good work of our organization. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future support to continue our mission. More on A Bequest to Further Good Work >>.

Several years ago Larry and Allison invested $30,000 in what they believed to be an attractive stock. It turned out to be a very wise decision, because the value of the stock increased to $100,000 a few years later. More on Deferred Gift Annuity >>.
