More Ways to Give
There are many meaningful ways to support Foodlink and help ensure every neighbor has access to nutritious food.

Did you know your employer may match your donation to Foodlink? Many companies offer matching gift programs that can double – or even triple – your generosity.
When your gift is matched, it helps provide even more nutritious food to children, families, and older adults across our 10-county region.

- Check with your HR department or company portal to see if matching is available

Our team is happy to assist with any documentation your employer may need.
Question? Contact our Donor Relations team at development@foodlinkny.org
Provides Steady Support All Year Long
Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to support Foodlink’s mission. Your recurring gift ensures we can respond quickly to rising needs and provide consistent access to nutritious food throughout the year.
When you give monthly, you:
- Help families facing ongoing food insecurity
- Allow Foodlink to plan ahead and response to emergencies
- Create lasting impact with a gift that fits your budget
Even a modest monthly donation adds up to hundreds of meals over the course of a year.
A Smart, Tax-Efficient Way to Give
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a meaningful and tax-wise way to support Foodlink. By giving securities directly, you may avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.
To initiate a stock transfer, please contact our team at development@foodlinkny.org for transfer instruction or download the form.
Recommend a Grant to Foodlink
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a flexible and impactful way to support hunger relief in our community. You can recommend a grant to Foodlink through your fund sponsor at any time.
To recommend a grant, please use our legal name and tax ID information:
