While the consequences of the current financial crisis are not yet fully known, we at the Bay Area Food Bank feel certain about 2 things - the number of people in need of food assistance will surely rise and the Food Bank will be there to help them. 

If your organization would like to hold a fundraiser for the Bay Area Food Bank, please contact our Development Director.   

You can also donate money by clicking the "GIVE" icon in the corner of this page.  We greatly appreciate donations of any kind, as they help us to provide more food to people in our community.

Below are 5 different ways in which you can give financially to your Bay Area Food Bank.

1. Monthly Giving

• Hunger is recurring issue and participating in our monthly giving program will enable the Food Bank to take steps to feeding more people through our agencies and programs. It is as simple as clicking on the "GIVE" or "Donate Now" buttons on this page and then selecting "I want to make a recurring donation." Choose Monthly, Quartelry or Yearly, whatever your fancy.

2. Stocks and Mutual Funds

• Looking for a tax-wise way to keep the shelves stocked at the Bay Area Food Bank?  Are you holding shares that have appreciated significantly in value but pay a low dividend?  Consider donating appreciated securities (stocks, bonds or mutual funds you've held for more than one year) to the Food Bank.  By doing so, you may be able to reduce or avoid capital gains taxes and receive a federal income tax charitable deduction.
