Corporate/Church Giving
Many businesses, organizations, and churches choose to support Exodus Family Ministries as a way to give back within the community and show their compassion for those who are struggling with food, clothing, or housing insecurities. Consider making a donation through:
- Sponsorships: We have a number of sponsorship opportunities for our annual events. These sponsorships are a great way to gain business exposure and offer your employees a chance to be involved in fun and worthwhile activities.
- Matching Gifts: Many companies offer matching gift programs to increase the impact of their employees’ donations. Please check with your employer to see if matching funds can be applied to your gift.
- Employee/Member Giving Programs & Volunteering: Companies that hold employee giving campaigns are encouraged to add Exodus Family Ministries as a giving option. Additionally, if your employees or church members are looking for volunteer opportunities to combine with their funding support, Exodus has multiple involvement options per month. They can join in any of our ongoing efforts, such as serving in our food pantry or clothing closet, or we can work with them to customize other meaningful ways to give back – like collecting food, clothes, or warming supplies, or assembling snack packs or hygiene kits for our unsheltered neighbors. We welcome the support!
- In-kind Gifts: We are grateful for in-kind support, as well. Many businesses and other supporters choose to donate goods or services to be used in our programs, at our events, or in our ongoing operations, like gas cards or meals. Please reach out to discuss in-kind giving possibilities.

Tribute and Memorial Giving
Making gifts in honor or memory of a loved one is a special way to honor the achievements or passing of someone important to you. Such gifts can be a fitting, personal way to acknowledge their impact. Consider making a tribute gift to celebrate a birthday, wedding anniversary, birth of a baby, or other special occasions, or in memory of someone.
When you send us a charitable gift as a tribute or memorial, your donation will be recognized with a thank you letter. If you like, the person or family you are commemorating can also receive notice that a gift was made (the amount will not be shared).
