Ways You Can Support M.A.S.H.
Your generosity helps M.A.S.H. Pantry & Resource Center provide essential food, personal care items, resources, and support to Veterans, Military families, and Survivors. There are many ways you can help us continue our mission.
Financial Contributions
Financial gifts are essential to sustaining and expanding our programs and services. Your contribution helps M.A.S.H. purchase needed supplies, support our pantry locations and programs, and respond to the changing needs of the Military and Veteran community.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be a tax-efficient way to support M.A.S.H. while also helping eligible individuals satisfy all or part of their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Individuals age 70½ or older may be eligible to make a direct charitable distribution from an IRA to a qualified charitable organization such as M.A.S.H. Because tax circumstances vary, we encourage donors to consult with their tax or financial advisor regarding QCD eligibility and tax treatment.
Non-Perishable Food
Food donations are at the heart of our pantry services. Canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, shelf-stable meals, snacks, and other non-perishable foods help us provide nutritious options to the Veterans and Military families we serve.
Personal Care Items
Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, shaving supplies, and other personal care essentials are always appreciated.
Household Supplies
Cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, trash bags, and other household necessities help the families we serve maintain safe, clean, and comfortable homes.
Clothing & Bedding
We welcome gently used clothing, blankets, sheets, and other bedding that can be distributed to Veterans and Military families in need.
Gift Cards
Gift cards provide M.A.S.H. with flexibility to respond to immediate and specific needs. Grocery, gas, and general retail gift cards can help us purchase food, supplies, and other necessities when they are needed most.
Volunteer Your Time
Your time is also an incredible gift. Individuals, families, businesses, civic organizations, Military groups, and other community organizations are welcome to volunteer with M.A.S.H. Opportunities are available throughout our programs, pantry locations, events, and special projects.
Real Estate & Property Gifts
Real estate can be another meaningful way to support the long-term mission of M.A.S.H. Additional information and brochures regarding real estate giving are available below.
Your Support Makes Our Mission Possible
Every donation—whether financial, food, supplies, property, or your valuable time—helps M.A.S.H. fulfill our mission of serving our Military Heroes with commitment and respect while strengthening the Veteran community.
Together, we are working toward our vision of becoming an all-inclusive Food Pantry and Resource Center serving Veterans and Military families throughout America.
Thank you for believing in our mission and standing beside the Veterans, Military families, and Survivors we are honored to serve.
