Charitable Grain Donation Program
Your harvest has always mattered—now it can matter even more. Through a simple act of generosity, you can transform part of your crop into thousands of meals for families right here in our local communities.
You already feed the world. Now, you can feed your neighbors too.
At Midwest Food Bank, we believe food is more than nourishment—it’s dignity, it’s kindness, it’s hope. Donating a portion of your grain brings that hope to the table for those who need it most. Together, we grow more than crops—we grow community.
Be Part of a Movement
Food insecurity isn’t a distant issue. In many rural communities, one in seven people struggle to put food on the table. Families are making impossible choices between groceries and gas, meals and medicine.
But here’s the hopeful part: local farmers can help change that. You can.
Your grain becomes more than a crop. It becomes care, compassion, and connection.
And yes, it’s a smart way to give. Grain donations often come with tax advantages, letting you stretch your impact even further. But this is more than numbers—it’s about purpose. Already donated your grain? You can still make a difference with a one-time or recurring monthly donation below.
Why Grain? Why Now?
- Local Impact: Your grain stays close to home, helping families nearby.

How it Works
- Inform your elevator to donate a set number of bushels to Midwest Food Bank.
- Provide the elevator with our name and address and they will handle the sale which means no extra steps for you.
NOTE: At Midwest Food Bank we turn your donations into food to feed your local communities. A donation acknowledgement will then be provided back to you by us.
