“My mother was a generous person and cared a lot about her community,” Laura Stackhouse says of Elinor Ogden. “She supported and volunteered for many organizations throughout her life. She understood how hunger was at the root of many issues.”
Elinor was a donor to The Food Group for more than thirty years. “We never imagined that she would leave us such a generous bequest,” says Emily Eddy White, director of advancement. Yet in 2023 a check arrived from Elinor’s estate. “Her gift makes a difference in so many ways!” Emily says. “It helped us carry out our mission of fighting local hunger and working toward change.” “Elinor was like many of our donors,” She was a faithful supporter for many years and quietly chose to designate part of her estate to us. We are so grateful!”
