Join a WesleyLife Foundation Giving Circle

The Legacy Circle

The Legacy Circle includes those who have named WesleyLife and/or one of our communities or services in their wills or through other estate gifts. We are grateful that these generous individuals have chosen to impact vulnerable older adults and veterans beyond their lifetimes.

If you have included WesleyLife in your will or estate plans and your name is not listed here, please contact us so we may thank and recognize you. We are honored to do so.
