How to Donate to the ASI Food Pantry

Post Ryan Choi Jane Nguyen

A photo of the ASI Food Pantry's second annual Friendsgiving Feast, for Sacramento State students in need of a hot holiday meal. Over 240 students enjoyed a hot buffet meal of quinoa salad, honey glazed carrots, herb stuffing, creamy mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, slow-roasted turkey, and garlic scallion gravy to celebrate the Thanksgiving season. Renaissance Society members came out to volunteer as a greeters and KSSU emceed & hosted human bingo with prizes.

Stocks, Estate Planning, Other

When you include the ASI Food Pantry in your estate plans, your generosity gives the gift of preparing our students to be leaders in their professions and their communities well into the future.

Gifts through your will and estate plans are one of the ASI Food Pantry’s most important and impactful sources of support. Unrestricted gifts give us the greatest flexibility to use funds where they are most needed.

You may leave:

  • A stated specific dollar amount
  • A percentage of your residual estate (what remains after gifts to loved ones and expenses have been paid), or
  • A specific asset, such as securities, retirement plans, life insurance, or other marketable property
