Recurring Monthly Gift

Hunger knows no season.  Hunger finds children, families and seniors every day.  By making a recurring monthly gift, you can help us feed the hunger every day, all year long.

It costs so little to fill a child’s hungry stomach.  A modest monthly gift of $25 will provide a family of 4, healthy meals for a month.

Qualified Charitable Contributions

Charitable inclined individuals age 70.5 have a tax-savvy strategy called Qualified Charibale Distribution (QCD). This enables tie IRA owner to instruct the custodian of their IRA to send payments directly from the IRA to a charity such as the Emergency Food Bank. In this approach the IRA owner can satisfy the annual RMD requirements and avoid the taxable income associated with the RMD. Please contact your IRA adminstrator, tax, or financial advisor to explore the venefits of a QCD.

Gifts of Publicly Traded Stock

A gift of publicly traded stock can go a long way to helping the Emergency Food Bank and potentially enable donors to enjoy favorable tax treatment while making an even greater impact.

Honor Someone Special

Help end hunger in Stockton and San Joaquin County with a gift that honors someone you care about. Your contribution is critical to creating a hunger-free community, and will be an unforgettable legacy gift in the name of someone special in your life.  You may also decide to donate instead of giving holiday gifts to family, friends or clients, and communicate to them that “a donation has been made in your name to the Emergency Food Bank Stockton/San Joaquin.”
