Street Charity cards are simply the most portable, practical, nonperishable, and cost-effective way to feed someone in the United States. Because Street Charity leverages fast-food restaurants to absorb many of the costs associated with providing meals, more donor dollars go directly toward feeding people in need. With Street Charity, there is no need for industrial kitchens, food preparation, storage equipment, food delivery, trash removal, etc.

The Universal Problem

Millions of people in America are hungry. Hunger has many faces, from school children to veterans to people living on the street to anyone going through a hard season.

You don’t have to solve all of it to make a difference. Street Charity gives everyone an easy way to do something, no matter how small it feels.

Behind every card is a person

In Chicago for our daughter’s birthday, I gave four gift cards and some cash to two mothers who were on the street with their small children.

I felt glad and saddened at once. On packed Michigan Avenue, abundance stood a few feet from need lying in the shadows, unnoticed and ignored.

Keep cards handy. And take a moment to let the person know they are noticed.

Donor

I met Latrelle sitting under a tree. I gave him a few Street Charity cards and he was so thankful! He told me that he had a 90 day plan to get his CDL truck driver’s license.

I asked him if I could help him with anything else and he said, “These cards are help enough! They allow me to get out of the heat, charge my phone and have some fries and a drink. Otherwise, the store manager chases me out because I am not buying anything.”

Donor

My husband is a disabled veteran and I go to the VA Hospital with him regularly for appointments and to support his friends who are also there.

I always bring a stack of Street Charity cards because the men love to go get a burger and fries together! They get a military pension but it’s rarely enough to splurge on a meal out.

Stories from the movement

A card changes hands, and something happens. If you’ve given a Street Charity Card, we’d love to hear how it went. Your story might be what helps someone else take the first step.

This isn't just another charity
It is a MOVEMENT to equip generous people

We envision a nation full of people giving cards, not cash, to fight hunger.

THE SAFEST WAY TO
make an impact

Street Charity funds are always protected and never go to waste. Every Street Charity Card expires after six months, and any unused balance is returned to Street Charity to support food banks, shelters, and other nonprofit partners.

Whether only 20 cents remain unspent or an entire card is lost or never redeemed, every unused dollar is recaptured and reinvested to help feed more people in need. 

This unique model ensures that every donation continues creating impact, even when a card isn’t fully used.

Street Charity is the first-ever food-only solution with zero waste, and it isn’t an experiment we’re testing. It is a movement that’s already changing how neighbors help neighbors.
