one card. one meal. A different world.
Give Cards.
Not Cash
How does it work?
1. Donate
You select a donation option to fund the Street Charity Cards. You can choose to become a donor for $35 per month and receive 4 cards every 4 weeks, or if you don't like the subscription model, you can get a bulk card order (starting at 25 cards) for a one-time donation.
2. Receive the cards
Street Charity will mail the prepaid cards directly to your home for you to distribute. If you don’t regularly encounter individuals in need, you may choose the option for Street Charity to distribute the cards on your behalf. 
3. Give to Someone in Need
When you encounter a person in need, you hand them a Street Charity Card. This ensures you are providing a meal directly, rather than cash that could be used for other purposes. 
4. Redeem and Reinvest
The recipient can use the card at any fast-food restaurant in the USA for a single transaction up to $5.00 (plus tax). As an added benefit, a percentage of any remaining balance on the card is shared with food banks and other nonprofit organizations. Donate

About Us
Street Charity Mission
Equip individuals and organizations with Street Charity Cards to foster generosity, deliver dignity, and reduce hunger in every community.
"Like you, I knew that handing out dollar bills wasn’t the answer. They were often used for drugs or alcohol instead of food. I also wondered why hungry people had to eat whatever the soup kitchen was serving.
Well, now hungry people can eat what they want — when they want — with a big side-serving of dignity! Join us today, and we’ll send you cards to start handing out.
Or if you prefer, we’ll send them to your favorite nonprofit, church, or school to hand out on your behalf. Either way, you are going to radically change the way we feed the hungry."

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between deliver Street Charity cards to me and distribute the cards on my behalf?
Deliver to me: This option is for someone who will hand-deliver cards to people in need and wants them delivered to their home every month.
Street Charity will distribute the cards on my behalf: This is for someone who prefers to support Street Charity's work but doesn't regularly encounter people in need. Street Charity will distribute their cards on your behalf.
Is my subscription tax deductible?
Absolutely. Street Charity is an IRS recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit. Every penny donated to Street Charity through subscriptions or bulk card purchases is 100% tax deductible.
How do I get these cards?
Become a monthly donor for $35, and we will send you 4 cards each month to hand out to those in need of food. Or make a one-time donation without becoming a member and get bulk cards (25 minimum).
Can I just buy one card?
We look forward to offering lots of ways to get Street Charity Cards, but currently, we offer monthly subscriptions (four cards delivered every month) or bulk cards starting with as few as 25 cards.
Can I get Street Charity Cards without subscribing?
Yes! You can get cards in bulk amounts starting with as few as 25. Otherwise, we offer a $35 monthly subscription that provides 4 cards each month, so you will always be armed with a meal to share.
