CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS

Use your corporate power for community good.

Time is a gift to hungry kids, seniors, and others who may not have enough to eat. Volunteering with your co-workers is an excellent team building exercise.  Volunteer groups of 25 to 30 are easily accommodated and both day and evening hours are available.

• Schedule a volunteer shift at one of our Healthy Food Hubs online or call our Harrisburg office at 717.564.1700 or our Williamsport office at 570.321.8023.

Corporations can help with food donations in a variety of ways!

Corporate Food Donations
We do our best to make donating easy for you and ensure you that your donation will be handled safely and efficiently. Donating products does more than make the donor feel good. It’s also a smart business practice. Here’s why:

• Recoup significant tax savings. The tax deduction usually equals cost basis plus one-half the unrealized profits.
• Save on storage costs and dumping fees on products that can be moved.
• Reduce waste of good product.
• Build your public image by supporting hunger relief efforts in your local communities.
• Corporate donors are protected from liability by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act.

Virtual Food Drive

Hosting a Virtual Food Drive allows you to help many more of your neighbors in need by raising funds for the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. The Food Bank can purchase food in bulk quantities at less-than-wholesale prices including fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy and center-of-the-plate proteins which can’t be donated in a traditional food drive.  The $1 that you might spend on one can of green beans can provide 6 full meals through a Virtual Food Drive. It is a simple and immediate way to help end hunger in central Pennsylvania.

Matching Gifts
Improve your corporate citizenship and support those organizations close to your employee’s heart by participating in a matching gifts program. Matching your employee’s monetary gift dollar for dollar will double your charitable donation power and help those less fortunate. To find out if your employer has a matching program, please visit your company’s HR Department.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank utilizes Pennsylvania’s NAP tax credits to encourage corporate financial and food donors to make generous gifts to the Food Bank. This special partnership is critical to the Food Bank since donations leveraging this program enhance the Food Bank’s ability to serve our neighbors who are experiencing hunger and donors receive a 55% tax credit. With inflation stressing everyone’s budgets and making groceries, transportation, housing, and other household necessities more expensive, the demand for food assistance is growing in every community we serve.

Eligible Businesses Can Receive a 55% PA Tax Credit

Participation is an easy 3 step process Donors are eligible to receive this tax credit for gifts received by the Food Bank during the fiscal year, defined as July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
