Harvest Club
The Harvest Club is Connecticut Food Bank's most committed group of supporters. They give to Connecticut Food Bank on a regular basis so that we can secure and distribute food and other groceries to our hungry neighbors day in and day out, all year long. You can sign up to give monthly, quarterly or yearly.
You determine the amount of money and frequency to be charged to your credit card. It is easy to keep track of your charitable giving and at the end of the year, you will receive a receipt for tax purposes totaling your yearly donation. To sign up for Connecticut Food Bank's Harvest Club, contact the Development Department at (203) 469-5000 or cfb@ctfoodbank.org.

Consider donating to Connecticut Food Bank in honor or memory of a friend or relative. Honorary gifts can express love, appreciation, congratulations or best wishes to those you admire. Gifts can also be made in honor of special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, and holidays.
When you make a contribution to honor someone, we’ll send a letter to notify that special person of your contribution (the amount will not be specified in the letter). Simply let us know the occasion and the name and address of the honoree. Gifts may also be made in memory of a loved one who has passed away, to remember his or her lifetime accomplishments.

Through your will or estate plan, you have the opportunity to provide not only for your family and friends but also for charitable causes that are important to you. Besides cash, you may also leave stocks, bonds and other types of property to charity.
