Director’s challenge: Consider leaving a life-changing legacy

ByHelping Services

By Carson Eggland, Executive Director

Here are two easy ways to leave a legacy through Helping Services.

Making a donation, visiting the Lights during the holidays, or dropping off a gift at our office–these significant moments support the mission of Helping Services for Youth & Families. I would challenge you to consider taking those actions a step further by including a donation to Helping Services in your will or estate plan.

I would be happy to discuss with you in person how your legacy gift would impact youth and families throughout Northeast Iowa. Thank you for considering the clients of Helping Services for Youth & Families in your will or estate plan and for your continued support to advance the mission!

Reach Carson at 563-387-1720 or ceggland@helpingservices.org.
