When you include the Jefferson County Food Bank Association (JCFBA) in your will or estate plan, you are doing more than making a donation. You are making a statement:

“I am dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by providing nutritious food and support to future generations of Jefferson County individuals and families in need.”

  • The simplest and most common form of planned giving is a bequest in your will or revocable living trust. An example of simple bequest language: “I give ________ percentage (__%) of my residuary estate to the Jefferson County Food Bank Association, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, located in Jefferson County, Washington, tax ID  91-1377493 to be used as determined by the board for the support of ongoing food sustainability in Jefferson County.”  You can make a will online for no cost at Write Your Legal Will Online, Free & Simple | FreeWill.
