What is your Legacy?

If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased.
Maya Angelou

The founders of Our Home of Hope, John and Mable Hershey, have already spent years leaving their legacy in the structure of the home and in the hearts of the residents. They have saved the home from closing, renovated the building, and created a warm, caring environment where our residents can thrive!

There are many ways to make your mark on the world by helping to provide a home for our residents for years to come. Charitable gifts help you celebrate your life with your community and future generations.

Ways to Direct Your Gift:

Cash:

  •  Tribute Gifts: your cash donation can be given in honor or memory of a friend or loved one.
  • Memorial Contributions: When a loved one passes, the memorial gifts can help make a difference in our residents lives.
  • General Donation: Unrestricted gifts may be applied toward the general operating costs of the library or directed to areas of greatest need. These funds are often used to support resident activities or purchase supplies.

Life Insurance:

  • Consider naming Our Home of Hope, Inc. as the beneficiary or partial beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy.

The goal is to create a lasting legacy that protects the place our residents call home.

In-Kind Donations:
