The Food Bank gladly accepts donations of food, large and small, to distribute into the community through our network of partner agencies.
Did you know that a single person will sort and pack enough food in a volunteer shift to fuel more than 160 meals for local families? That it only takes two minutes to reach your elected officials? It's easier than ever to have an impact through your time and talent.
If you'd like to donate by mail, please send your gift to our Raleigh headquarters:
Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
ATTN: Donations
1924 Capital Boulevard
Raleigh, NC 27604
Please be aware that our locations can only accept packages during regular business hours.
Below are just a few of the many ways to get involved and make a difference in our community.
Give through your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to make a difference in the lives of neighbors in central and eastern North Carolina. Your DAF serves as an investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations like the Food Bank and our network of local partners.
Giving via DAF is easier than ever with our secure tool that links to your fund and allows you to recommend how your gift should be used. It only takes a few clicks to grant from your DAF, notify us of your intentions, and save a lot of time along the way! This is a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
If you are age 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can make a big difference in the fight to end hunger while helping to reduce your taxable income! For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it. Our secure online toolkit makes it easy to give from your IRA and auto-complete your paperwork — and the Food Bank can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Donating stock or other assets can make a major difference in a short period of time — alongside capital gains tax benefits and full-value charitable deductions. Use our secure online tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, this link also includes transfer information and the opportunity to notify us of your gift.
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and 100+ other cryptocurrencies! This gives the Food Bank one more way to fund our mission — and can provide you with extra tax benefits along the way. Use our secure online tool to put your contribution directly to use for greatest impact.
If you’re interested in designating the Food Bank as a beneficiary of an asset, our easy-to-use tools can help guide you through the process. Learn how you can nourish our communities by creating a legacy that will help ensure no one goes hungry.
Don't have a will or trust? We have you covered. The Food Bank partners with FreeWill to make it easy to get started — at no cost to you.
Honor A Loved One: Your donation can have personal impact too, when you make a gift in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one.
