Workplace Giving
To make donating as convenient as possible, we participate in a variety of workplace giving programs.
Employee Giving
Payroll deduction is an employer-sponsored program that empowers employees to support Second Harvest’s mission with a tax-deductible donation given directly from your paycheck. Payroll deduction is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to help. A few dollars deducted from your paycheck each pay period can make a lasting impact on the lives of our community members struggling with hunger.
Matching Gifts
Does your company offer to match employees’, retirees’ and employees’ spouses’ donations? Implement a matching gift program today and maximize the impact of your employees’ donations. Contact Becky Bardsley at Second Harvest to discuss how to get the process started.
Volunteering
It would not be possible to collect, sort and repack all of the food that comes through our warehouse every day or conduct direct distributions without volunteers. Companies can provide employees and management with this great team-building opportunity.
