Make a meaningful impact—and receive potential tax benefits—through an IRA charitable distribution to CES.

If you’re eligible, you can use your IRA to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to CES. A QCD may count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and could reduce your taxable income, all while helping neighbors facing hunger—whether physical, relational, or spiritual.

To get started, contact your IRA plan administrator to designate a gift to CES. For questions or more information, reach out to us at:

*Note: You may need CES’s tax ID number: 41-1728341.

Support CES through your donor advised fund (DAF).

Leave a legacy of nourishment and hope.

By including CES in your estate plans, you can help provide healthy meals, warm smiles, and lasting support to neighbors facing hunger—physical, relational, and spiritual—for years to come.

A planned gift is a powerful way to make a lasting 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 through other giving options

We encourage you to speak with your legal or financial advisor to explore what’s best for you. CES is happy to work with you and your advisor to accommodate your wishes.

We’d also welcome the chance to talk with you about your hopes for how your legacy gift can support CES’s mission and our neighbors. Together, we can align your values with meaningful, long-term impact.

Have questions, want to discuss your plans, or already included CES in your estate? We’d love to hear from you:

Double your impact with a matching gift from your employer.

Many companies match employee donations or volunteer hours—making your support for CES go even further for neighbors in need.

Check with your HR or payroll department to see if your employer offers a matching gift program or other workplace giving opportunities. They can guide you on how to submit your donation or volunteer hours for a match.
