PREBLE STREET LEGACY SOCIETY
The Preble Street Legacy Society honors and recognizes our friends who, individually and collectively, have invested in the future of Preble Street by establishing a life income gift or by including Preble Street in their will, living trust or long-term estate plans.
Legacy gifts carry forward our mission to meet urgent needs, empower people to make change in their lives, and create solutions to homelessness and hunger in our communities.
A legacy gift to Preble Street — through your will, a trust, or other vehicles – will help us lead the way to a future of opportunity and hope for all.
“Those yet unborn will weep and laugh that others care or took the time to do this thing for those unknown. . . for all who may, like me, sometimes feel all alone.” — Preble Street client
Thanks to all of our Legacy Society members who invest in the future of our community by including Preble Street in their planned giving
Welcome new
Legacy Society Members!
Twenty new members were inspired by Cathy Houlihan and Bo Norris (above) to take the Bequest Challenge! At our first Legacy Society Reception in April 2023, Cathy and Bo presented Preble Street a $10,000 check representing $500 for each new member who named our agency in their will in the last year.
