To stay true to our mission, we receive no federal or state funding. We can only continue to help those in need because of supporters like you.
- Struggling mothers to find respite care for their children.
- Hurting families to receive professional counseling.
- Adoptive families to discover the joy of giving hope to a child in need.
- Parents with essential resources for their children.
Every gift, whether financial, donated items, or volunteer time, is crucial to our mission.

Employer Matching
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. This enables your generosity to make twice the impact. Ask your employer today if they will match your contribution.
Combined Federal Campaign
Start corporate giving at your office with our Combined Federal Fund. Inspire your employees to contribute to Christian Family Services through convenient payroll deductions. Your generous donations directly impact the community, transforming the lives of countless children and families.
The Combined Federal Campaign may take an administrative fee of up to 20% of your donation. Our CFC code is #40697.
Asset-Based Giving
Donate Stock
Make a meaningful impact by donating stock. By donating appreciated stock, you can receive a charitable deduction, amplifying the value of your contribution.
Appreciated Assets
Making a gift of publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash.
IRA Minimum Distribution
If you are 70 ½ or older, you may direct charitable gifts from IRAs on a total tax-free basis, which can also count toward your required minimum distribution.
Donate A Car
When you’re ready to part with your vehicle, consider donating it to Christian Family Services. By choosing this option, you receive a tax benefit while actively contributing to our mission to support families in need.
Leave a Legacy with Your Generous Donation

Estate Giving
Your estate gift can provide crucial support for our mission long into the future. Consider naming Christian Family Services as a beneficiary in your:
- Will
- Living trust

- Retirement accounts
Legacy Endowment Fund
With a minimum donation of $10,000, you can honor the legacy of a loved one by contributing to our Legacy Endowment Fund. Your donation combined with other donations can be a powerful financial tool to fund our services. Our programs that serve the less fortunate lose money. We never turn anyone away based on ability to pay. That is why these type of contributions are so important, they support us now and in the future as we take a portion of the growth each year.
