Other Corporate and Employee Giving

• Grant Opportunities – Many of our vital feeding programs – including our BackPack, Senior Box and Mobile Pantry Programs – are completely funded by private donations and grants from local companies and community organizations.

 

• Matching Gifts – If your company has a matching gift program please be sure to inform your employees of the process and requirements for requesting a company match. Companies can match financial donations or volunteer hours from their employees.

 

• Employee Giving – Another convenient way for your employees and company to support the Food Bank is through payroll deductions.
