Special Legislative Update

Visit the Hunger Action Center today to thank your Members of Congress for their great work in passing this legislation.

Message from Vicki Escarra
President & CEO, America’s Second Harvest—The Nation’s Food Bank Network

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.

With more than 38 million Americans, including nearly 14 million children, living on the brink of hunger, America’s Second Harvest—The Nation’s Food Bank Network of more than 200 food banks and food-rescue organizations needs more meals to feed hungry Americans.

This update serves as a resource for you to learn how your company can benefit from the new enhanced tax deduction. Please take a moment to read the information and let our team know if you have any questions.

Thank you for being a part of the solution to end hunger in America.
