Rather than paying a living wage, Broward college has decided to distribute food bags to their employees. 50 bags for 500 employees 👍

(They do regularly do this for students too)

~~Not only do they guilt you into contributing to their charity of choice, but the company also 1) get to be the ones whose name is attached to those donations, 2) gets a tax break as a result, and 3) talks themself up on their website about how much they donated to the cause.~~

I learned something today about how businesses can't actually claim point-of-sale charitable donations that show on a receipt for a tax write-off. Also, I learned about how no one can claim tax write-off for cash donations into a charity jar.

In the US they do not get a tax break for that unless they break the law. You can however take a tax deduction for it.
