We Thank You For Your Support!

Hunger doesn’t take a day off, and neither do we. Across Eastern Wisconsin, families are working hard to make ends meet, but for too many, putting food on the table is still out of reach. Your donation provides more than meals – it offers stability, strength, and hope for a better future. Every dollar you give helps us provide fresh, healthy food to local food pantries, shelters, and meal programs to nourish families and strengthen communities. No contribution is too small because every act of kindness brings us closer to a hunger-free Wisconsin. Together, we can ensure everyone has a place at the table – and enough to eat.

Whether you’d like to make a one-time gift to provide immediate relief, or become a monthly donor to create lasting change, your generosity will directly help feed families, children, and seniors facing hunger in Eastern Wisconsin. Click the “One-Time Donation” or “Monthly Donation” box below to donate today!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is estate planning?

Estate planning is the process of protecting your family by deciding who will inherit your assets and how you wish for them to be distributed, typically done through a will.

Why do I need a will?

Having a will can help avoid confusion and potential conflicts among your loved ones, giving you peace of mind knowing your wishes will be followed. Without a will, state laws determine what happens to your assets, which may not align with your intentions.

What is a donor-advised fund (DAF) and why would I use one?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a useful option for many reasons. For example, if you’re dealing with significant tax events and want to give to charity without deciding on the recipients right away, a donor-advised fund may be a useful tool. You will receive an immediate tax benefit while having time to distribute funds to charities over time. Contributions to these funds are also exempt from gift and estate tax, providing more financial benefits.

Can I use my IRA to make a gift?

Yes, you can use distributions from your IRA to make charitable gifts. Funds withdrawn from your IRA are subject to income tax, just like any other income source. You can then donate the net amount to charity, similar to income earned from salary or stock sales.

If you’re 70 ½ or older, you can redirect up to $100,000 of your IRA to charity annually. This amount is excluded from your gross income, providing a tax-efficient giving option.
