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 et Alan ont rencontré Second Harvest pour la première fois alors qu'ils faisaient du bénévolat lors de l'un des événements d'entreprise d'Alan. Ils ont été impressionnés par la quantité de nourriture nutritive qui serait fournie pour chaque dollar récolté.
En 1993, ils ont fait leur premier don et sont devenus des donateurs dévoués au cours des 30 années suivantes. Quand est venu le temps de penser à laisser un héritage, il a semblé logique d’inclure un legs de leur succession désignant Second Harvest comme bénéficiaire important.
“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
