You do not need to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or benefit your neighbors after your lifetime, you can find a charitable plan that enables you to provide for your family and continues your mission of fighting hunger in Maine.
Do you dream about a time where there is no hunger in Maine, when every cupboard is full, and everyone has enough to eat? We do too.
Make a long-term impact with a gift in your Will or Living Trust
A gift in your will is a meaningful way to help end hunger in Maine.
It is easy to complete your gift by including just one sentence in your will. Since your gift is not realized until after your lifetime, it costs you nothing today. With the added peace of mind should your life or financial circumstances change, you can change your mind at any time.
No matter the size, a gift in your will to Piscataquis Regional Food Center helps fight hunger in the Maine Highlands region.

Planned & Legacy Giving
​Put Your IRA to Work for Good
A tax-smart way to nourish your neighbors through PRFC
You can make a lasting difference right here in Piscataquis County, while saving on taxes. If you’re age 70½ or older, you can use your IRA to support the Piscataquis Regional Food Center directly, helping ensure everyone in our community has access to fresh, healthy food.
​
A Special Giving Opportunity for Those 70½ and Older
You can give any amount—up to $108,000 this year—from your IRA directly to a qualified charity like PRFC without paying income taxes on the transfer. This is often called an IRA Charitable Rollover or a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
​
Your contribution goes straight to work supporting local hunger relief and community food programs, allowing you to see the real impact of your generosity.
​
Why Consider a Gift from Your IRA?
-
Your gift will be put to use right away, helping PRFC expand access to nourishing food across our rural region.
-
If you’re required to take minimum distributions, your gift can count toward all or part of that requirement.
-
You won’t pay income taxes on the amount you transfer—so even if you don’t itemize deductions, you still receive a tax benefit.
-
Because the transfer doesn’t count as income, it may also help lower your taxable income, reduce Medicare premiums, or decrease the portion of your Social Security subject to tax.
Your legacy can be simple, local, and deeply meaningful—feeding families and strengthening our community.
Before making a gift from your IRA, please consult your financial advisor to determine how this opportunity fits into your individual tax and financial plans.
