Make a meaningful impact—and receive potential tax benefits—by giving through your IRA.
If you’re eligible, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to CES. A QCD can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income—all while supporting neighbors facing hunger, whether physical, relational, or spiritual.
To get started, contact your IRA plan administrator to direct a gift to CES.

Leave a legacy of nourishment and hope.
Including CES in your estate plans helps ensure that neighbors facing hunger—physical, relational, and spiritual—continue to receive healthy meals, warm smiles, and lasting support for years to come.
A planned gift is a powerful way to create enduring impact. You can name CES as a charitable beneficiary of your: retirement plan (e.g., 401(k), IRA), annuity, will or trust, life insurance policy or other giving vehicles.
We encourage you to consult with your legal or financial advisor to determine what’s best for your situation. CES is also happy to work with you and your advisor to honor your wishes.
We’d welcome the opportunity to talk with you about how your legacy gift can reflect your values and sustain CES’s mission for the future.
Have questions, want to discuss your plans, or already included CES in your estate? We’d love to hear from you: development@cesmn.org 612-870-1125
Double your impact with an employer matching gift. Many companies match employee donations or volunteer hours, amplifying your support for CES and extending our help to neighbors in need.
Check with your HR or payroll department to see if your employer offers a matching gift program or other workplace giving options. They can guide you on how to submit your donation or volunteer hours for a match.
