Legacy donors Alan Feinberg and his wife Joan Weber are motivated to give back to the community. When they relocated from Boston to the Bay Area in 1990 and learned how many people — especially families with children — were struggling with food insecurity, they were appalled. “No one should have to do without a nutritious meal, especially in a wealthy area like Silicon Valley.”
They were especially concerned that so many children struggled to get by without adequate nutrition. “I remember sitting down for a home cooked meal with my family every night,” said Alan. “I took it for granted.”
Joan y Alan conocieron Second Harvest por primera vez mientras trabajaban como voluntarios en uno de los eventos corporativos de Alan. Quedaron impresionados por la cantidad de alimentos nutritivos que se proporcionarían por cada dólar recaudado.
En 1993 hicieron su primera donación y se convirtieron en donantes devotos durante los siguientes 30 años. Cuando llegó el momento de pensar en dejar un legado, parecía lógico incluir un legado de su patrimonio nombrando a Second Harvest como un beneficiario importante.
“We don’t have any children of our own. We want to ensure that children in the future have the same access to healthy food as we did when we were growing up. Leaving a legacy is our way of providing for multiple generations of kids.” – Joan, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley legacy donor
