Food pantries and other charitable organizations do good for their communities by ensuring people have the support they need to thrive. While many subsist on donations and other forms of help from individuals, local businesses can also give back. Here are some ways you and your company can benefit from supporting nonprofits.

Why Supporting Charities Is Good for Your Business

1. Make a Good Impression on Customers

Consumers nowadays want businesses to be passionate about the causes they believe in, so they're most interested in supporting companies that continuously give to charities and nonprofits. As such, you can use your donations as a marketing tool. New customers will be eager to purchase products and services from your business if they know that you care deeply about social responsibility.

2. Attract Employees and Enhance Morale

Along with bringing new customers into the fold, supporting nonprofits like food pantries and homeless services creates a pleasant work environment. That's because younger generations are more dedicated to employers passionate about social causes.

For many candidates, a business's ethics will even help them determine whether to accept a position with a company. When you show that you give back to the community, you have a better chance of attracting the best and brightest talent. 

3. Take Advantage of Tax Deductions

Supporting social causes can allow businesses to shave a few dollars from their yearly tax bills. While you must meet specific requirements, those eligible can expect a much smaller tax burden. An accountant can help determine the rules and regulations for charitable deductions to ensure you remain in compliance. 

 

In addition to offering a thriving food pantry, Shepherd's Pantry provides other types of support within Glendora, La Puenta, Irwindale and the surrounding communities. This highly regarded nonprofit offers clothing assistance, youth tutoring, financial aid, and other essential services to families in need. They have a genuine commitment to the community and welcome support in the form of donations and volunteers.
