As we celebrate 20 years of making hope and healing possible at Recovery Café, we are reminded that every person who walks through our doors has a unique story—and everyone deserves the opportunity to build a secure future, no matter their background.
During National Estate Planning Awareness Week, we want to empower you with some important information from a recent survey that might inspire you to take action for your loved ones and your community:
- 64% of Americans say having a will is important, but 68% don’t have one.
- 40% of those without a will think they don’t have enough assets to need one.
- For the first time in years, the number of Americans with a will has declined.
Why does this matter? Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for everyone. Having a plan in place empowers you to live confidently, knowing your loved ones, hard-earned assets, and pets are protected. To help you get started, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating or updating your will or trust.
At Recovery Café, we’ve spent 20 years providing a supportive refuge where people gain support to fulfill their potential. You can continue to lift this mission by including an optional planned gift while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate planning, and philanthropic goals. Every gift, no matter the size, helps our Members reclaim life as a person worthy of giving and receiving love. Your generosity and impact will be felt and remembered.
Thank you for being part of this community and considering how estate planning can help protect the future of both your family and Recovery Café. If you have any questions about this resource or planned giving, please contact Gina at Gina@recoverycafe.org.
