Tribute – Honor a Loved One
Making a gift to the Community Food Bank in someone’s honor is a gift that keeps on giving. Each dollar given to the Food Bank helps to provide eight meals for a neighbor at risk of hunger. A gift as a tribute is a perfect way to honor someone’s birthday, wedding, anniversary, in place of holiday gifts, or in honor of a friend of loved one who has passed on.
Stock Gifts
Gifts of stocks and securities are an easy and great way to make an impact for our neighbors at risk of hunger. To ensure a smooth transfer of your stock, please contact your broker and advise them of your intent to donate stock to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
Planned Giving
A planned gift creates a legacy of hope to ensure that tomorrow’s families in need will not go hungry. A planned gift can be especially meaningful because it provides long-term support that strengthens our ability to feed hungry neighbors.
You can designate a bequest to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama in your will, name the Food Bank as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or gift retirement assets. As some of the planned gift options may also provide tax benefits to you, your family or your estate, we recommend you consult with your financial adviser to develop a personalized plan of giving.
Purchase a Food Bank License Plate
Show your support in the fight to end hunger in Alabama by pre-ordering a Food Bank license tag. The net proceeds will be used to help end hunger by assisting the food bank network in obtaining more food and funds, raising public awareness about hunger in Alabama and creating partnerships to alleviate hunger. Please note that this is a pre-commitment to purchase a plate that will go into production in 2020.
To pre-commit, you only need your contact information and current tag number. Be sure to check the box “Yes, I authorize the release of my name, address, and email address to the sponsoring organization of a distinctive license plate.” This way we will know how many folks in our service area have ordered. This information will ONLY be used to thank you and contact you when the tags are ready.
How do I make a commitment to purchase for the proposed Alabama Food Bank Association license plate?
Use the Commitment to Purchase License Plate Portal available at: https://precommit.mvtrip.alabama.gov/.
What happens if the required number of pre-commitments are not obtained?
The money is held in escrow by the Alabama Department of Revenue. If pre-commitments sales are not met, the money will be distributed to the Alabama Food Bank Association along with a list of all registrants who submitted pre-commitments for the plate design. We will then refund your $50. Please note that even though the website says we have to sell 1000 plates within a year, we can still have the plate produced (with a white background) if we can sell 250.
How will I know when the plate is available?
You will receive a Pre-commitment Redemption Voucher by email from the Alabama Department of Revenue notifying you when the plate will be available.
