Make
Someone's Simple Wish Come True!
Sadly,
having regular wholesome meals and good health
is only a dream for many people.
The Legacy Health
Foundation would like to thank you in advance
for your desire to support and expand our
mission through tax-deductible donations that will help us to
combat hunger in a new way -- providing not just
any food to the needy, but wholesome,
chemical-free, non-toxic organic and natural
foods and products that have health-promoting
and healing qualities.
Since individuals become weakened, and often
diseased and dysfunctional, when toxins are not
avoided and the proper nutrition necessary to
maintain a state of good health is not
accessible, our ultimate goal when providing
nutritional information and healthy products is
the significant improvement of eating habits,
living habits, and overall health to a level
that will enable the individual to have the
strength, confidence, and state of mind and
health to be able to independently break the
chain of dependence and take more positive and
proactive measures in their health and nutrition
choices, and in their life.
Of course, your
generous cash donations and bequests are always welcome. But we also are
equally happy to receive material donations and
personal gifts of any of the following critical
items for distribution and to sustain our
operation. Our funding is very limited and
our "Wish List" continues
to grow. We have recommended potential
sources, whom we have no affiliation with, for some of these items for your ease in
locating them, but gladly accept any organic or
natural foods and products related to our
mission from an appropriate source that can be
delivered without spoilage or damage to the
products. In order for us to provide you
with a receipt for your donation, please ensure
that the shipment includes an itemized list of
the donated products, prices, and your complete
name and address where we can mail your receipt.
A receipt is automatically generated when paying
online with a credit card or check through
PayPal.
