Personal Property
Accumulated various assets or items no longer needed can be very valuable for feeding those in need. Gifts of non-cash assets like gift cards, jewelry, phones, tablets, vehicles, boats, precious metals, stocks, or commodities can provide significant financial support for the work of the Midwest Food Bank.
Some of our donors have given non-cash items to MFB. These include cars, stocks, real estate, collectibles, grain, and other items of value. Donors may have items taking up space or may want to eliminate monthly fees on storage units. Non-cash donations represent thousands of dollars. MFB uses an online giving system that allows donors to liquidate almost any kind of quality non-cash donation effortlessly.
