Several years ago, a supporter quietly included Anchor Ridge in her estate plans. She once told us, “I may not always be here — but I want hope in these mountains to remain.”

Because of her legacy gift, children today are receiving meals. Families are receiving essential supplies. Volunteers are reaching homes that would otherwise be forgotten.

Her impact continues — even now.

That is the power of legacy giving.

When you include Anchor Ridge in your will or estate planning, you ensure that hope keeps flowing into Appalachian communities long after today.

And for those looking for a strategic way to give now, donating appreciated stocks or bonds can be a meaningful option. It often allows you to:

  • Maximize your charitable impact
  • Potentially reduce tax burdens
  • Turn long-term investments into immediate transformation

Your investments can become groceries on a table, warm coats in winter, encouragement for a struggling parent, and stability for a child.

Some gifts meet a need for today.

Others shape the future.

If you’re interested in learning more about legacy giving or gifts of stocks and bonds, we would love to connect with you personally.

Because hope in Appalachia is worth investing in — for this generation and the next.
