Make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors in need—while also saving on your taxes.
When you give to Food on Foot through a donation of appreciated securities, you’re helping provide meals, housing, and life-skills training—all while maximizing your tax benefits.
A meaningful way to give—and save
