Host a Virtual Food Drive
A virtual food drive helps the food bank provide more nourishing food than most people could collect on their own. We collect financial donations that we can use to buy the food we need most, including perishable items like fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy. We’re able to turn every dollar donated into 5 meals’ worth of food!

Donate Stock
One of the biggest tax advantages in charitable giving continues to be the double benefit donors get when donating appreciated assets to Feeding America West Michigan instead of cash. By giving appreciated assets (like stocks held for more than one year), you’ll get a charitable tax deduction for the full value of the asset and avoid any capital gains tax that would have applied if you had sold the stock and made your gift in cash.
