What You Can Do
DONATE ONLINE - Support our relief efforts today with a monetary gift, Just Click Here
- Why Give? A great reason to share what you can to our mission today is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which allows up to $300 per taxpayer ($600 for a married couple) to be taken as a one-time deduction on 2020 tax returns. Please consider this as another reason to help our local Quad City neighbors in need!
SHARE SUPPLIES - If you wish to donate non-perishable food items, hygiene / sanitation supplies, or paper products please Contact Us Here
