Meet Our Donors

I’ve made contributions to Alameda County Community Food Bank every year for decades. The Food Bank fills a critical need in our community—I can’t rest easy knowing that children living in my community don’t get enough to eat.

I included the Food Bank in my estate plan because—though it’s difficult to talk about— I believe there will always be hungry people in Alameda County. Even after I’m gone, I want to do what I can to help them.

I know I could leave my entire estate to my children but compared to the clients of the Food Bank, they are already incredibly blessed. My children, who are now adults, appreciate the importance of setting aside a portion of my legacy for the Food Bank. In fact, I think they will be inspired by the passion I feel for the organization and the obligation that we all have to take care of those less fortunate than ourselves.
