Matching Gifts
You can double, and possibly even triple, your donation to Helping Harvest if the company you work for matches donations made by employees (and in many instances retirees as well) to charitable organizations. To find out if your company matches charitable gifts, contact your company’s human resources department. If they do match gifts, ask your human resources personnel for the matching gifts form and mail the completed form with your donation to the above address.
