Legacy Giving at Mission Services of London

Extend your compassion with a legacy gift!

For 75 years, Mission Services of London has helped provide essential supports and services to men, women, and children across our community, working alongside them during times of crisis and transition. Our work spans a range of programs designed to address immediate needs while supporting longer-term pathways forward.


From hunger and homelessness to addiction and mental health struggles, we meet people where they are at with compassion, dignity, and hope – and support them on their path forward.


When you include a gift in your Will, your kindness towards neighbours in need extends beyond your lifetime. Your generosity helps ensure there will be a caring place for them to turn.
 

What Is A Gift In Your Will?

A gift in your Will – sometimes called a legacy gift – is a way to leave money or other assets to a charity after you pass away. You make the decision now, document it in your Will, and the gift is given through your estate later.
 

Why Legacy Gifts Matter


For 75 years, Mission Services of London has walked alongside neighbours facing hunger, homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges.


Day-to-day donations help meet urgent needs. But legacy gifts help make sure this support continues well into the future. They:

  • Provide long-term stability for shelter, mental health, and addiction treatment programs
  • Enable us to plan with confidence
  • Ensure future generations have somewhere to turn in times of crisis


Legacy gifts can also help your loved ones by reducing taxes, which means more of your estate can go to family and friends.
