The impact of your support
Are there other ways to donate?
Which donation method is most effective in terms of fees?
Cash and checks certainly are, but GiveButter can also be free to the Cupboard and to the donor – but only if you zero out the fees and the suggested 15% tip to GiveButter.
Are donations tax deductible?
The Holly Springs Food Cupboard is recognized as a tax-exempt charitable organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your donation receipt as your official record. For reference, the Cupboard’s EIN is 27-2859804. View the Cupboard’s Tax Form 990.
Can I celebrate someone or make a memorial gift through my donation?
Yes. Celebrate a birthday, honor a holiday, or remember a cherished loved one by giving a gift that feeds the community. Your tribute or memorial donation turns a special occasion into nutritious meals for local families, keeping their kind spirit alive and well.

Can I donate through an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)?
Many retirees no longer itemize deductions on their tax returns and are using the standard deduction. When using the standard deduction, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) may reduce your tax liability as well as offer an opportunity to support your favorite causes.
A Qualified Charitable Distribution allows individuals aged 70½ or older to donate directly from an eligible IRA to qualified charities without recognizing the distribution as taxable income. Once age 73 is reached, QCDs may also fulfill part or all of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). Arranging the timing of Qualified Charitable Distributions is important to ensure they can offset your Required Minimum Distributions.
There is no restriction on the number of charities that can be supported with QCDs provided they qualify under IRS guidelines. However, donations must go directly from your IRA to the charity to be considered a QCD. The QCD limit is subject to annual inflation adjustments. For 2026, QCDs are capped at $111,000 per IRA owner.
