A SPECIAL THANK YOU

to an unknown child named Josh for a $100 donation. His letter:

Dear Meals on Wheels,
My parents gave me a choice on a charity I want to donate to.  I chose your charity because , I think it is awesome that you help people get food when they can’t really afford any food or get out to get it.

Retirement Plans

An increasingly popular and tax-wise way of making a bequest is to name Strafford Nutrition as a beneficiary of your retirement plan. You can do this by simply requesting a beneficiary designation form from your plan provider. You can name Strafford Nutrition to receive all of the plan’s assets or just a portion (%) upon your death, dividing the plan among family, friends and/or other charities.
There are tax advantages to making a charity the beneficiary of a retirement plan.  As a non-profit organization, would pay no tax on the proceeds. For this reason, some savvy planners name Strafford Nutrition (and/or other charities they hold dear) as the beneficiary of their retirement plans, leaving all the other assets in their will to friends and family who can receive "non-retirement assets" such as a house, investments, car, etc. without having to pay income tax.

Your plan provider may ask you for our 501c3 number to add the program as a beneficiary.  You can contact us at the main office to get this so we may also thank you for your generosity.
