August is National Make-A-Will Month — a timely reminder that one of the most important steps you can take for your loved ones and your community is to put your wishes in writing. At Servants, we believe that planning for the future isn’t just about what you leave behind — it’s also about the lives you can impact ahead.
For many of our neighbors — seniors, individuals with disabilities, and struggling families — a safe, accessible home is the foundation for hope and dignity. Every day, our volunteers and donors work together to repair homes and restore lives, serving Christ by serving others. But did you know that you can continue that mission beyond your lifetime?
By including Servants in your estate plan, you can ensure that your commitment to helping others endures for years to come.
Why Make a Will?
A will is more than a legal document — it’s a powerful expression of your values. It gives you the peace of mind that your loved ones and the causes you care about will be provided for according to your wishes.
Without a will, the state decides how your property is distributed, and none of it will go to the charities you support unless you specifically direct it. That’s why we encourage everyone — regardless of age, wealth, or life stage — to take this important step.
The Impact of Your Legacy
When you include Servants in your estate plan, you create a lasting legacy of hope. Your gift helps ensure that low-income seniors can age in place safely, that people with disabilities have access to their homes, and that families in crisis have a place to turn.
Even a modest percentage of your estate can have a profound impact: building ramps, repairing roofs, replacing unsafe steps — and changing lives. Your planned gift strengthens Servants for the future, enabling us to continue our mission for the next generation.
A Free, Easy Way to Get Started
If you don’t yet have a will, Make-A-Will Month is the perfect time to create one. And it may be easier than you think.
We’ve partnered with FreeWill, a secure and simple online tool that guides you through creating your will in just 20 minutes — at no cost to you. In the process, you’ll have the opportunity to include Servants as a beneficiary if you choose.
