Every day, the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) works alongside its 41-member food banks and on behalf of hungry Californians. We lead the collective effort to end hunger by working to change the systems that create hunger in the first place and ensure food banks have the tools and resources they need so they can focus on what they do best: feed communities.
CAFB now offers easy-to-use cash and non-cash donation tools that make stock, donor-advised fund, cryptocurrency, or IRA giving quick and easy.
Your gift to CAFB cannot end hunger in California alone. CAFB also encourages you to volunteer your time or donate to your local food bank. FIND YOUR LOCAL FOOD BANK

Donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds can benefit from a combined tax savings of up to 70% of your gift. Our online stock giving tool helps us immediately identify the stock transfer as coming from you.
DAF owners can make a critical impact by recommending a grant to CAFB in just a few minutes.Our DAF tool connects directly to 1,000+ supported Donor-Advised Fund providers and submit your grant request to CAFB.
A donation of appreciated crypto can help you avoid paying capital gains taxes y get an income tax deduction. Your crypto gift will ensure there is access to nutritious food for those who need it right now.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are a way for you to contribute to our cause directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). If you are 70.5 years or older, you can donate up to $100,000 annually from your IRA without having to include the distribution in your taxable income.
