Donation FAQs

Find answers to common questions about donating and supporting our food bank mission.

How will my donation be used?

Every dollar you give helps us provide nutritious food to families, children, and seniors across West Central Texas. Because of our partnerships and bulk purchasing power, we can turn every $1 into roughly four meals for our neighbors in need.

Can I make a recurring monthly gift?

Yes! Monthly giving is one of the most effective ways to make a lasting impact. Your recurring donation provides steady support that allows us to plan ahead and respond quickly when needs arise.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. The Food Bank of West Central Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You’ll receive an email receipt immediately after your donation for your records.

Can I donate food instead of money?

Absolutely. We gratefully accept non-perishable food donations at our warehouse or through local food drives. Check our Most Needed Items list on the website before dropping off food to ensure your donation goes the furthest.

Do you accept corporate or workplace donations?

Yes! Many local businesses support our mission through financial gifts, employee food drives, sponsorships, and volunteer opportunities. We’re happy to work with your company to design a partnership that fits your goals.

Can I donate in honor or memory of someone?

Yes, tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor a loved one while helping others. Simply select “Dedicate this donation” during checkout, and we’ll send a personalized acknowledgment to the person or family you choose.

What other ways can I give besides donating online?

There are many ways to make an impact:

  • Mail a check directly to the Food Bank of West Central Texas
  • Include us in your estate or planned giving
  • Give through your Donor-Advised Fund
  • Donate stocks, securities, or IRA distributions
  • Volunteer your time or host a food drive

Each gift — large or small — makes a difference for families facing hunger.

Can I see your financials or annual report?

Yes. Transparency is important to us. You can review our latest financial statements and annual report on our About Us or Accountability page to see how your donations are used to fight hunger locally.

How do I set up a workplace giving match?

Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees — sometimes doubling or even tripling your impact. Check with your HR department to see if your company offers a matching gift program, and we’ll provide any documentation needed.
