Howard Legacy Society is made up of individuals who have chosen to extend their values beyond their lifetime and bless others in lasting, meaningful ways.
As a member of this special circle, your generosity becomes part of a legacy of hope. Together, we are building a future where children can learn, families can thrive, and communities can stand strong with dignity. It’s a quiet but powerful act of faith—one that will continue to reflect God’s love for generations to come.
