Benefits of Making a Food Donation
The primary benefit from donating food will always be the satisfaction that comes from seeing resources used instead of wasted. But there are direct and indirect financial benefits as well such as:

  • Saving storage costs. Reduced storage cost can be substantial.

  • Receive a tax credit. (Also, a state tax credit is available to growers.)
