Corporate & Organizational Donors

Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana helps the food industry eliminate waste while feeding people in need by serving as a distribution channel for surplus product. The Food Bank provides a safe, efficient and cost-effective system for distributing a wide selection of unsaleable but edible food through our network of more than 180 certified member agencies.

Donating food makes great business sense. Here's why:

Tax Deduction

The 1976 Tax Reform Act allows companies to deduct costs associated with donating food to non-profit organizations.

Cost Savings

In addition to tax benefits, your company can save money by donating products to the Food Bank rather than throwing them away.

Inventory Control

A food donation can help reduce your surplus of hard-to-move inventory that can be eaten but not sold.

Company Promotion

Second Harvest Food Bank promotes our food industry donors through a variety of ways including our website, newsletters, media outreach and Annual Report.

Community & Staff Morale

Your support will win you the respect of your community and staff.
