Charitable giving opportunities include:

Thrift Town. We would appreciate your gently used clothing, accessories, shoes, household items and small appliances. All sales to Thrift Town benefit Lifehouse. We are unable to accept: large furniture, TV’s, computer monitors, halogen lamps, items that need repair/cleaning or hazardous waste. To schedule a free donation pick-up, please call 800-675-4499.

Contributions. Lifehouse is grateful for monetary contributions, large or small. We will send acknowledgement cards for donations you make in honor of or in memory of an individual.

Securities. When you donate stocks, bonds and other securities to Lifehouse, you will not only avoid the capital gains tax, you will also enjoy a tax deduction for the stock's full market value.

Property. We can arrange for your continued use or occupation of a home, commercial building or land that you contribute. We also accept donated automobiles.

Deferred Gifts. Planned gifts, such as trusts and bequests, offer tax advantages and can provide you with income throughout your lifetime.

Matching Gifts. Double your contribution by asking your company if it has a matching gift program.

Gifts made through wills and living trusts. If you have a will or a living trust, you have an opportunity to help ensure Lifehouse's long-term future. You may prefer to avoid capital gains tax by giving a gift of appreciated stock directly to Lifehouse. To make a gift of real estate, there are a variety of ways to transfer property to Lifehouse, such as a charitable unitrust or a donation of the remainder interest. As you review your financial affairs on your own or with a professional advisor, keep in mind these ways that you can help Lifehouse.

Endowment Program. Your gift to our Endowment Fund ensures Lifehouse's long-term growth and stability, as we use only the interest.

United Way. Designate a United Way gift to Lifehouse.

A Gift of Insurance. Consider the gift of an old insurance policy no longer needed for family income protection. Lifehouse will be the beneficiary and the cost will be only the annual premiums left on the policy. Better yet, a new policy can be a way to make a large gift on the installment plan.
