Fight Hunger Act

This bill would create a federal income tax credit equal to the amount a taxpayer donates in cash or wholesome food to food banks, soup kitchens, or similar tax-exempt charities that receive food donations. The credit could also include vehicle costs for delivering donated food, up to the standard charitable mileage rate. Taxpayers who choose this credit could not also deduct or claim another credit for the same donation. Unused personal credit amounts could be carried forward for up to five years, and the portion tied to business donations would be treated as part of the general business credit. The changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
