Donate Stocks
One of the biggest tax advantages in charitable giving continues to be the double benefit donors get when donating appreciated assets to Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley instead of cash. By giving appreciated assets (like stocks held for more than one year), you'll get a charitable tax deduction for the full value of the asset and avoid any capital gains tax that would have applied if you had sold the stock and made your gift in cash.
Please provide the following information in your request when directing your broker to transfer your shares to Meals on Wheels:
- Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley

- Allentown, PA 18190
- EIN: 23-1861779
- Meals on Wheels's DTC Number: 0226
- Meals on Wheels's Account Name: National Financial Services
It is important to notify Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley of the specifics of this transaction (stock name, share quantity, gift designation) so we can credit your gift appropriately. Please contact us at 610-419-6289 or dinak-b@mowglv.org.
