Celebrate DAF Day with Midwest Food Bank on October 9, 2025

At Midwest Food Bank, we are grateful for the generosity of our supporters. Together, we are sharing the love of Christ by alleviating hunger and malnutrition and providing disaster relief. Together, we are truly helping millions of people every year. This year, we encourage our supporters to engage charitably and celebrate DAF Day with Midwest Food Bank.

What is DAF Day?

DAF Day is a national day of giving designed to inspire generosity through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). This year, DAF Day takes place on Thursday, October 9, 2025, the second Thursday in October. It's a great opportunity to use your DAF to make a meaningful impact right here at Midwest Food Bank.

Why Now is a Great Time

• Fund a DAF - With the market performing strongly, now is an excellent time to consider funding a DAF with appreciated stock. Doing so can maximize your giving power, provide potential tax benefits, and expand the reach of your charitable support.
• Gift from a DAF - And if you already have a DAF but haven't made a charitable grant in a while, DAF Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate by initiating a gift. Each DAF grant fuels our mission to provide food and hope to those who need it most.
  
  

Grateful to Be Your Steward

At Midwest Food Bank, we treat every gift with care, whether it comes through a check, a stock donation, or a Donor-Advised Fund. Each dollar entrusted to us stretches further, with 99 cents of every dollar donated going directly to our programs. When you give through your DAF, you are helping us deliver food, home, and the love of Christ to communities facing hunger.

This DAF Day, we invite you to celebrate generosity with us.

If you have questions about starting a DAF, contact your financial advisor. If you have questions about the tax benefits associated with donating appreciated stock, contact your tax advisor.
