Any amount helps us achieve our goals
The Nosara Food Bank receives donations through the Amigos of Costa Rica, an initiative of the Costa Rica-USA (CRUSA) Foundation. Make your tax-deductible donation today by clicking on one of the buttons below.
Donate Funds
The Nosara Food Bank stretches every dollar you donate a very long way. Through our partnership with Banco de Alimentos, and buying additional food in bulk, we feed families for a fraction of the normal cost.
The number of applications we receive is growing right along with the population of Nosara. We need additional funds each month to purchase food. The food donations we receive through our donation bin at Super Nosara do not even begin to meet our need. We must turn down applications every month because we do not have sufficient resources to meet the requests we receive.
DONATE ONLINE
Donate online now through Amigos of Costa Rica, a USA 501(c)3 organization. Contributions are US tax-deductible.
Please consider signing up for a re-occurring monthly donation. We need a regular income stream to continue to meet the increasing need.
Employee Matching Donations
Employee Matching Gifts are donations an employer makes to match its employees' charitable contributions. Ask your employer about matching gifts today.
