Right now, many social service organizations are facing financial challenges. This is
certainly true at Human Options. A tight economy creates a higher level of
stress in all families - especially in those families where there has been
domestic violence, the violence escalates. The need for Human Options’ programs is greater than ever.
Your donation will provide safety and shelter, food, clothing, legal advocacy and individual therapeutic support for a mother and her child in Human Options’ emergency shelter:

___ $500 - five full days for a mother and child

Society
Many Legacy Society donors make their gift in the form of a bequest. Wills and Trusts are easy to arrange
and do not require a current transfer of assets.
We are most grateful to our special friends who help assure our future stability and effectiveness through planned gifts.
