Lucille’s Story
Lucille Smith loved raising her family in Clermont and wanted to help other families find a safe home and community in Lake County. So, she put provisions in her estate plan to leave an endowment gift with the Foundation for her most cherished charity, Habitat for Humanity of Lake & Sumter Counties. Today and forever, Habitat for Humanity will benefit because of Lucille’s enduring initial gift of $179,000. Over the past 8 years, her gift’s earned income has granted over $106,000 to Habitat’s work in our community, and the fund has grown to over $206,000.
