DONATE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
JOIN OUR HUNGER HEROES
Hunger doesn’t take a break—and neither do we. When you donate monthly as a Hunger Hero, you ensure that local students facing food insecurity have access to consistent, reliable support all year long.
Your ongoing generosity means schools and students can count on Food For Neighbors to provide food when it’s needed most. With just a small regular commitment, you’ll make a huge difference in the lives of struggling teens in your community.
MORE WAYS TO GIVE

Maximize your impact by exploring additional ways to give! You can double your donation through employer matching programs, contribute through a donor-advised fund, or become a matching donor yourself to inspire others to give.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows donors to contribute money, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to their favorite nonprofits over time. It works like a charitable savings account, where funds can grow tax-free until they are distributed to a qualified nonprofit organization. Food For Neighbors is a 501(c)(3) organization and qualifies for and accepts grants from DAF. Remember, you can make one-time or recurring grants from your DAF.
How It Works:
- Contribute: Donate cash, stocks, or other assets to a DAF (e.g., through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or a community foundation).
- Get a Tax Deduction: Receive an immediate tax benefit in the year of the donation.
- Recommend Grants: Over time, recommend donations to nonprofits like Food For Neighbors whenever you’re ready.
A DAF is a flexible, tax-efficient way to give, making it easier to support causes you care about both now and in the future.
Employer Matching Programs
Did you know many companies will match your donation to Food For Neighbors—dollar for dollar? Employer matching gift programs are an easy way to maximize your generosity and make an even greater difference for local students facing food insecurity.
How It Works:
- Donate: Make a contribution to Food For Neighbors.
- Check for a Match: Use your employer’s matching gift program (many companies offer a 1:1 or even 2:1 match!).

Volunteer Grant Programs
Did you know your employer may donate on your behalf just for the time you spend volunteering? Many companies offer volunteer grant programs, where they contribute to nonprofits like Food For Neighbors based on the number of hours their employees volunteer.
How It Works:
- Volunteer: Give your time to help students facing food insecurity.
- Check Your Company’s Program: Many employers offer grants when you reach a certain number of hours.
- Submit Your Hours: Follow your employer’s process to request a donation for Food For Neighbors.
Your time is already making a difference—make it go even further by checking if your employer offers a volunteer grant program!
