Gifts of Stock

Donating stock and mutual fund shares offer a number of valuable financial benefits while supporting the Food Bank’s vital mission. By donating to the Food Bank, you may be able to reduce or avoid capital gains taxes and receive a federal income tax charitable deduction. And for every dollar donated, your gift will provide two meals to San Diegans in need.

Donate Your Car

Turn your wheels into meals for hungry San Diegans. Donating your unwanted vehicle is easier than selling it, and you will receive a tax receipt for you contribution.

Our representatives can even arrange for towing, if the car is inoperable.

Call (877) 350-SDFB / (877) 350-7332 or click the button below to fill out our online form.
