Financial Donations

Both Individuals & Organizations can support the Tri-State Food Bank

All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

President Bush recently signed the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-280), which includes an extension of the special enhanced tax deduction for charitable food donations to all business taxpayers and represents a milestone in the fight against hunger in America. All business taxpayers—including farmers, ranchers, restaurateurs and small business owners—can reap the same enhanced tax deduction as C corporations for in-kind food donations. The deduction, equal to the basis plus ½ the fair market value appreciation, not to exceed twice the cost, will provide an estimated $250 million worth of new meals for hungry Americans over a 24-month period.
