Legacy Website Background

A Future Fueled by Compassion

The Homeward Legacy Council is a group of compassionate individuals who have chosen to include Stepping Stone Emergency Housing in their estate plans.

Whether through a Will, a retirement account, or a life insurance policy, your legacy ensures that safe shelter and new beginnings are here for generations to come.

Don’t have a Will yet? We’ve partnered with FreeWill to make it simple and free to create your legal Will in 20 minutes or less—and include a legacy gift if you choose.

“I came to Stepping Stone scared and unsure. Now I walk through life with purpose—and a plan.”

– Maria*, legacy of resilience
