Tell us About your Donation
Please note our provider has changed to US Bank. After you’ve initiated the transfer, please notify Cindy Shanks at (816) 929-3015 or cshanks@harvesters.org. Due to privacy concerns, US Bank will not identify you when notifying us about your stock donation. You must notify the food bank of your donation, so we can send your tax receipt letter and confirm that your stock was transferred.
