TESTIMONIAL
When Richard Walter first learned about Fred Finch Youth & Family Services more than four decades ago, he was immediately drawn to our mission of helping young people overcome challenges and build brighter futures.
​
“What I really liked about Fred Finch was the focus on teenagers and young adults,” Richard shared. “I had a tough time during my teenage years, so I could relate.”
​
That personal connection inspired him to join the Board of Directors. Over the years, Richard has witnessed firsthand how Fred Finch has grown and adapted to meet the changing needs of children, youth, and families across California.
​
“I have seen Fred Finch evolve in so many positive ways,” he said. “That is why I have stayed involved for more than 40 years and why I continue to support them.”
​
Richard’s generosity extends beyond his annual giving. He has also chosen to include Fred Finch in his estate plans, ensuring his impact will continue for generations to come. He hopes others will consider doing the same.
​
“It is important to give back,” Richard said. “Planned giving is a way to make sure your impact lasts far into the future.”
