The purpose of this legislation, known as the Fight Hunger Act, is to encourage food donations to charitable organizations that support individuals in need, such as the ill, needy, or infants. By providing a tax credit for these donations, the Act aims to reduce food waste and enhance food security for vulnerable populations. The key provisions of the Act include a new tax credit for individuals and businesses that make qualified charitable donations. A qualified donation can be cash or food that is safe for consumption.
