Does your employer offer charitable donations through payroll deductions via Benevity or the United Way? Considers us when making your donation decisions.

Giving through Benevity
As a registered charity on Benevity, your donations can be deducted directly from your paycheque and directed to Arnprior and District Food Bank Inc. Payroll giving through Benevity is one of the most cost-effective ways for charities to receive donations, as fees are minimized and tax receipts are automatically issued annually for all payroll donations by Benevity. You can set up one-time or recurring donations and manage your giving easily through the Benevity platform provided by your employer.

Directed Donations via United Way
You can specify us as a directed donation through your United Way workplace giving program. Simply specify Arnprior and District Food Bank Inc., along with our charity registration number (889473062 RR 0001) and contact details, as the recipient of your directed gift. This ensures your donations reach us through your existing United Way payroll deduction options.
