Share The Harvest

Help your community and save on taxes with a charitable gift of grain!

By donating your grain directly to the United Way of Pekin at your grain elevator or co-op, you can exclude the sale from federal and state income and self-employment taxes. This means more value from your donation, whether or not you itemize deductions. We receive the full benefit to put towards our mission—and you enjoy significant tax savings at the same time!

  1. Deliver your grain to the elevator or co-op of your choice.

  2. Sell the desired number of bushels in the name of the United Way of Pekin.

  3. A warehouse receipt is issued to you.

  4. Notify us of your donation details!
