Leave a Legacy of Hope with Planned Giving
A planned gift is your investment in a better world — one where all children, families, and seniors get the nutritious food they need.
Your planned gift provides the Food Bank of the Southern Tier with the confidence and the means to plan for the future: to continue our hunger relief efforts and to craft long-term strategies to reduce the number of people who will require food assistance in the future.

- Leave a portion of your estate to the Food Bank

Hear from a Member of the Orchard Keeper’s Society
“We named the Food Bank as a partial beneficiary of a charitable IRA. We care for our community and we trust the Food Bank to continue to work toward ending hunger in the Southern Tier. My husband and I had successful careers as Cornell University professors and want to share the benefits we’ve enjoyed. I’d tell others considering a gift that when we sit down to eat, pause and consider that for many, doing the same is not possible without the help of the Food Bank.”
– Sally McConnell-Ginet, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, Cornell University
