Ways to Give

Make a financial donation

TACO is always grateful for in-kind and financial gifts, which help meet the continuing costs of providing meals and services to those in need.

​

Host a Fundraiser

Sometimes, supporters of TACO host their own fundraisers. If you'd like to do the same, this would be a good place to start! It's TACO's Fundraising Tool Kit, and features ideas for successful events, tips on how to put them together, ​and a form that will let us know what you're planning and how we can help. 

​

Shop at Amazon and 0.5% of what you buy goes to TACO.

If you shop at Amazon, use the Amazon Smile to do the same shopping you do anyway and half a percent of what you spend goes to TACO.  When logging in using the Amazon Smile link, make sure you find and select "Third Avenue Charitable Organization, Inc." as your supporting organization.

(You have to start from Amazon Smile every time you shop for TACO to benefit.)

Direct Thrivent Financial Dollars

Do you have insurance policies or investments with Thrivent Financial? If so, you have the ability to direct Thrivent funds to TACO in two ways.

​

1) You are automatically allotted a designated amount of dollars, based on the value of your policies or investments, to direct to a registered charity (TACO is on the list). This is not your money, but a benefit to you as a member to direct Thrivent corporate profits to a charity. Log onto your Thrivent account. Scroll down and you will find “Thrivent Choice” down the page. Listed there should be the amount of “2018 Choice Dollars” that you have been allotted. Click on the “Direct Choice Dollars” button, and it takes you to a screen where you can search for the charity you want; type in “Third Avenue Charitable Organization” and it should appear, then click the button to proceed to direct the dollars.

​

2) As a Thrivent member you are entitled twice a year to request a $250 gift card that you must then use to support an “action team event”, which could be a fund raising event for TACO that you creating, for example. The $250 can be used for the expenses of the event. The application is quite simple, right online. Look for “Thrivent Action Team” on your account page in Thrivent, and click the “Apply Now” button to proceed. After the event you must report the results of the event, which again is fairly simple and is done online.
