Image 1 of 5 "The best legacy you can leave is one that keeps on giving. The Legacy Society keeps your memory alive. And for me it's important that the support I give God's Love We Deliver carries on." ~ Vicente Wolf, interior designer and Legacy Society ambassador

Image 2 of 5 "One of my dearest friends in the whole wide world, Derrick, passed away from AIDS. I couldn’t save Derrick from his disease, but I could put my time, energy, and love in to feeding someone else who was facing HIV/AIDS, and other serious illnesses, so I started volunteering with God’s Love We Deliver. Helping others helped me through my grief, and helped me experience the joy of service. I’ve joined the Legacy Society because God’s Love is so special to me. You can clearly see the impact the organization has with a simple meal. Every meal made and delivered with love – what could be better than that? I want this organization to be around forever and ever and I am so proud that my legacy is tied to an organization doing such good. ~ Belinda Levychin

Image 3 of 5 "As I've gotten older, I've seen God's Love accomplish so much and fee so many. I am deeply committed to making sure we can continue our important work. I decided to join the Legacy Society because I wanted to ensure the future of God’s Love. I’m an only child and I don’t have a large extended family. I want to pass on what I have to what I feel is my family: God’s Love. Hopefully my legacy continues through God’s Love.” ~ Martin Friedman, Legacy Society member

Image 4 of 5 “I have been impressed by the work of God’s Love We Deliver since its beginning. When I retired, after donating for years, I became a volunteer and began “to walk the talk”. I support the organization’s future by including them in my will and by taking this small step to ensure that they are part of my legacy.”~ Joseph Page
