Suffolk Life Newspapers - Tax Incentive Urged For Farmers Who Donate Food: "Called the 'Good Samaritan Hunger Relief Tax Incentive Extension Act,' the measure would extend and expand provisions that allow for tax deductions for donating food products to food banks, pantries and homeless shelters.
'Food pantries are facing a perfect storm where more people but less food is coming through their doors every day,' stated US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), announcing his co-sponsorship of a bill introduced by US Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN). 'With food prices skyrocketing and the economy stalled, more Long Island families than ever rely on food pantries just to get by.'"
