HB 1782 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Removes the sunset provisions of the "Donated Food" food pantry tax credit

HB 1782 permanently extends Missouri's tax credit for donations to food pantries, homeless shelters, and soup kitchens by removing the bill's prior expiration date (December 31, 2026). Taxpayers who donate cash or food to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations serving low-income communities can claim a 50% credit on donation value, capped at $2,500 annually per taxpayer. The credit applies only to donations made to local organizations operating in the donor's area, with no changes to existing eligibility rules or credit limits. This update ensures the program continues indefinitely without requiring annual legislative renewal.
