Business managers: Did you know you get great tax deductions for donating food? Eligible businesses can deduct the lesser of (a) 2x the basis value of the donated food & (b) the profit margin if the food were sold at its Fair Market Value. Details from Harvard are here.
[ExtraFood provides a receipt for tax purposes to any ExtraFood food donor immediately upon request at any time.]
What energy! Gary — a tremendous athlete —joined ExtraFood as a volunteer food runner and he has already recovered over 11 tons of food! If that weren’t enough, Gary often caps off his food deliveries with a trail run through one of Marin’s beautiful parks. He’s even offered to make food deliveries on his bike. (If that were possible, we know Gary would be the first to do it.) This week we had many open trips due to volunteers on vacation. One day Gary jumped in and handled 5 of them for us! What a help that was! We are so psyched that Gary has chosen to focus some of his incredible energy on helping us to end hunger and food waste in Marin.
