Neighborhood Access Program (NAP) Tax Credits
What we eat is a strong predictor of health outcomes. When looking at the health impact of the lack of nutritious food the statistics are alarming. Food insecure neighbors in Southeast Missouri have more than twice the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases (such as diabetes) than the general population.
To improve health outcomes and give families their best chance at good health, experts recommend at least 50% of diet should consist of fruits and vegetables. Produce is often difficult to afford on a limited budget. SEMO Food Bank makes every effort to secure and purchase and distribute nutritious, fresh food, but we need your help.
Every dollar donated through NAP Tax Credits directly supports the purchase and distribution of nutritious food to the 1 in 5 neighbors facing hunger in Southeast Missouri.
Missouri residents with business income can make a donation of $1,000 or more and receive 50% of their donation back to put towards their Missouri taxes.
NAP Tax Credits is a smart way to make your gift have a greater impact on your savings and in the community.
