Other Ways to Give

Donate Your Vehicle

Do you have a vehicle you no longer need? Make it useful again by donating it to ICS! We contract with a reputable national nonprofit that processes the vehicle and sends the resulting funds to ICS.

Here are some things to know about donating:

• Donating a vehicle creates a tax deduction for you and gives ICS funds to help people in our community!
• In addition to cars, you can donate motorcycles, boats, trucks, RVs, airplanes, and other motor vehicles.
• Vehicles do not need to be running, nor do they need to be local. Because we work with a national organization, vehicles anywhere in the U.S. can be donated to ICS.
• It’s free to have your vehicle picked up. You don’t need to be present and can make arrangements for pick-up at your convenience.
• The only paperwork you need to donate a vehicle is a signed, clear title.

As with any donation, consult your tax advisor. To donate and for more information, visit Donating Is Easy or call toll-free 1-877-537-5277 or send an email to donations@careasy.org.

Food Bank

You can join Interfaith Community Services’ efforts to alleviate hunger in our community. The ICS Food Bank distributes all donated items to families facing food hardship. The need is great; ICS is currently serving over 1,700 families or households each month.

Suggested donations include spaghetti sauce, pasta, peanut butter, jelly, boxed cereal, canned fruit, canned soups, canned vegetables, canned chili, canned tuna and other meats, powdered milk, and jello. Thanks to refrigeration and freezer units in the ICS Food Bank, we can also accept donations of fresh and frozen produce, packaged meats, and dairy products. For questions regarding ICS’s policy for accepting particular food items, contact Curt Balko, ICS Food Bank Coordinator, at (520) 526-9319 or cbalko@icstucson.org.

Organize A Food Or Food And Fund Drive!

Drives for food, diapers (all sizes) and personal hygiene items are always needed. Many groups have made food drives a successful project.

A food and/or a food and fund drive is ideal for faith communities, neighborhoods, businesses, service clubs, schools, military units, scouts, sports teams, and any group of dedicated people who want to do something to help fight hunger in our community. Be creative! The ICS Development Team is available to assist you with ideas for conducting and promoting your food drive.

In most instances, ICS can supply collection boxes, signage, and flyers for you to use; pick-ups can be arranged with advanced notice.

To conduct a food drive contact Joshua Hennings, Food Distribution Manager, at (520) 244-0236 or jhennings@icstucson.org

Gifts of Love

The holidays are an especially challenging time for the Pima County families who turn to ICS for help to meet their basic needs. As you prepare for your holiday celebration, please consider adopting a family who does not have the resources to buy clothes or gifts. The ICS holiday Gifts of Love is a wonderful way to bring together friends, neighbors, co-workers, or members of your faith community to celebrate the true spirit of the season. Each year many families have a happier holiday thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

ICS will choose a family who meets your donation abilities and provide you with their clothing sizes and gift suggestions to make shopping easy. Gifts can be dropped off at the ICS offices or arrangements can be made for you to take gifts directly to your sponsored family or individual. Gifts of Love operates from November through the end of the holidays in December.

Can’t commit to a full family donation? Consider making a monetary donation by contacting Celena Robles at (520) 526-9304 or crobles@icstucson.org. You can also make a donation here.
