Financial Donations

The current cost to operate the food bank five days a week, excluding donated food, is approximately $400,000 annually. Since the food bank does not charge its clients in any way, all of these funds must be donated to the food bank each year.

Employer Matching Gifts

Matching Gifts can be a great way to double or even triple your donation while making a significant impact to the food bank. Many employers offer matching gift programs to match your charitable contributions and your co-workers if they also apply for matching gifts. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
