Did you know one aspect of the recently passed CARES Act includes new charitable giving incentives? To bolster charitable giving in a time of economic downturn, a $300 above-the-line tax deduction for charitable giving, will be eligible to both itemizers and non-itemizers alike. The CARES Act also raises itemized charitable contribution deduction limits for individuals who itemize their deductions and claim the charitable contribution deduction.

You can help fill the Food Pantry by ordering from our Amazon Wish List. Just address deliveries to Jewish Family Services at 5509-C W. Friendly Ave, Greensboro, NC 27410. Food may also be dropped of in the front foyer at the same address.
