HOW YOU CAN HELP
Visiting Nurse Services relies upon the generosity of individuals, corporations, civic groups and foundations to help us meet the public health needs of our community. You can make a significant difference through a cash donation, an in-kind gift of needed program materials and services, or through a deferred gift. VNS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and your gift is tax-deductible.


HOW TO GIVE

GIFTS
Gifts of cash, appreciated stock, or property to VNS help to provide services to children, families and adults in all of our programs. Your gift makes up the difference between the income we receive from grants and our actual costs.

MEMORIAL GIFTS
You can honor the memory of a loved one or recognize a special milestone of a family member or friend with a gift to VNS. Our staff will send a special acknowledgement to those you have named on your gift.

DEFERRED AND ESTATE GIFTS
Leave behind a legacy of hope by including VNS in your will or estate. You may also name VNS as a total, partial, or contingent beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
