Make a Gift of Stock
Giving appreciated stock is a fast and easy way to make a gift to Food & Friends and receive considerable tax benefits. In fact, many people find that the tax benefits associated with giving to Food & Friends actually allow them to increase the size of their gift. To learn how you can make a gift of stock to Food & Friends, please contact Pat Cornell, 202.269.6870. Learn how to transfer stock.

Make an In-Kind Gift
In addition to money and stock, certain items can be donated to help Food & Friends. Of particular importance are donations of microwaves and PUR water filters, which we provide directly to our clients. We also accept donations of cars and other vehicles (see below). If you have an item you wish to donate, please call us at 202.269.2277. To view our wish list of in-kind items click here.
