Give by Credit Card
A credit card can be used through Zeffy, a dedicated payment hub for nonprofit organizations.
Please note that Zeffy provides its services on a free basis to the Food Pantry, and there is no deduction from your donation or a contribution from the Food Pantry for their transactional services. They do request a contribution from Zeffy donors that use the platform to make it available to other nonprofits, but any donation to Zeffy is entirely voluntary on your part.
If you do NOT wish to make an additional donation to Zeffy, please choose the “Other” option after you indicate your one-time or monthly donation amount and then leave the “Contribution” box blank before you confirm your payment.
We encourage you to consider giving to the food pantry monthly as this provides us with greater budgeting certainty as we endeavor to meet the weekly needs of our neighbors. Zeffy allows you to set up an automatic monthly payment by clicking on the monthly tab.
