Put Stock in Something That Matters

Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes - it’s a win-win for you and us! And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to Meals on Wheels Chicago.

We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button below, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.

So, remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash. By gifting stock, your support will have an even greater impact — without denting your pocketbook.

This year give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.
