There are so many ways to support your community:

We believe everyone should have access to nutritious food and the dignity that comes with it. Your gift makes it possible to provide nutritious food including fresh dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetables, culturally familiar food, and other essential items for the 1500 households a week who shop at the Edmonds Food Bank.

Donor Advised Funds, Stocks, Qualified Charitable Distributions, Required Minimum Distributions

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs):  An RMD is the mandatory minimum amount you must withdraw each year from your tax-deferred retirement account.  The starting age is 73 for those born between 1951 and 1959, and age 75 for those born in 1960 or later. 

Qualified Charitable Contributions (QCDs):  QCDs are direct, tax-free transfer of funds from your retirement account directly to a charitable organization and count toward satisfying your RMD requirement.  You must be at least 70½ years old at the time of the distribution, and the 2026 limit is $111,000 per person.  The main benefit is that the amount donated is excluded from your taxable income.

Donating Stocks:  We accept stock donations, and here is the link to the document with the information on how to make a stock donation:  EFB Stock Donation Information

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs):  If you benefit from donor-advised funds and would like to send a gift to the Edmonds Food Bank, please make checks payable to Edmonds Food Bank and mail to the following address:

Edmonds Food Bank

Edmonds, WA 98020
