A Lifetime of Giving Back: Joe’s Inspiration for Monthly Giving

When Joe Longtin first joined St. Mary's Health System as a clinical chemist in 1969, he had no idea how deeply the organization would shape his life and career.

After being deployed during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Joe returned to St. Mary's, where leadership recognized his skills and asked him to help establish the hospital's very first computer network. That request launched him into a new chapter as St. Mary's first senior network engineer.

"St. Mary's gave me a lot during my 39-year career there, and I want to give back," Joe said. "I decided to set up my gift as an automatic monthly donation so I don't have to remember if I've given for the current year or not. It's very convenient, and I never have to worry about following through on my intentions to support St. Mary's."

Joe's story shows how meaningful and easy giving can be with a monthly recurring gift. You can increase your impact and provide steady support to the programs you care about most with a monthly gift.
