Will you leave a legacy of love?
Creating a will is one of the most powerful ways to protect your loved ones while reflecting your deepest values. It’s also an opportunity to leave a lasting gift to a nonprofit that’s meaningful to you.
August is National Make-A-Will Month, and our gift to YOU is a FREE tool to create your will in minutes. We have partnered with My Catholic Will to make it easy. Our simple, 15-minute questionnaire will guide you every step of the way.

Many people, like Halle, choose to care for both individuals and for charities with final gifts, just like they do year after year throughout their lives.
Whenever she can, Halle donates food, clothing, and household items to St. Vincent de Paul. “I see the people you are helping and the work you are doing,” she says. “It takes a lot more people than me to do this, but I want to do my part.”
That’s why Halle chose to include St. Vincent de Paul in her will. She is carrying on the generous legacy she inherited from her mom, and her gift will have a lasting impact.
“St. Vincent de Paul makes it easy to give and help people. You just have to do it from your heart.”
Like Halle, you can give from your heart to ensure the mission you cherish – helping your neighbors in their time of need – continues for years to come.
