Donate

The Father McKenna Center relies solely on contributions to make possible high quality support and services that change lives

Donate

The Father McKenna Center has three primary funding sources: individuals, foundations, and organizations (religious communities, corporations, and others)
We must raise over $1,000,000 each year to continue our programming.

Our commitment to building relationships gives special meaning to the gifts from individual donors. We are blessed that many of our supporters are long-term and regular donors, who sustain our work to meet needs and change lives in our community. We are always seeking to build new relationships with supporters at every level.

We value gifts in kind and have specific wishlists for both the Food Pantry and the Clothing Closet, however financial gifts give us the greatest flexibility in directing resources to meet pressing needs.

Stock Transfer

The Father McKenna Center maintains a brokerage account. If you have appreciated stock that you wish to donate to The Father McKenna Center, please contact Liz Daley.

Legacy Gift

You can make a profound and lasting contribution by including The Father McKenna Center in your will or estate. For more information, please contact Liz Daley.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

Many retirees have pension programs [401(k) or Roth IRA’s] from which they must take distributions beginning at age 72. Making a contribution directly from an IRA has potential impacts on one’s tax liabilities. Consult your financial advisor about this option. If you choose to use a QCD, please inform the Center to be on the lookout by emailing Liz Daley, because not all contributions from financial institutions inform us who the donor is.

Other Gifts

Clothing

The Father McKenna Center accepts gently-used men’s clothing, especially jeans and khakis, polo-type shirts, and shoes. We also accept new socks and underwear.

No suits, please. We recommend that suits be donated to Strive, DC, a part of the Samaritan Ministry, or to Jubilee Jobs.

AMAZON CLOTHING WISHLIST

Food

The Father McKenna Center accepts shelf-stable goods for our Food Pantry. We are always in need of vegetable oil, apple juice, canned chicken, baked beans (18 oz or smaller), jelly (in 12 oz jars or smaller), soup, and canned fruit.

If your organization is interested in holding a canned food drive to benefit The Father McKenna Center’s Food Pantry, please contact Liz Daley.
