Hance Legacy Society

The Hance Legacy Society was established to honor St. Barnabas' founder, Brother Gouverneur P. Hance, and all those who have made the St. Barnabas Charities a part of their legacy through a planned gift. Since 1900, St. Barnabas has been blessed with many benefactors who have shared Brother Hance's vision and have provided an estate gift for the purpose of advancing St. Barnabas' mission:

... Just as the love of Christ urged Brother Gouverneur P. Hance to devote himself to the service of the poor, it impels us to continue service to those in need and to take appropriate actions to assure the continuing viability of our mission through a strong commitment to our programs and associated services.
