Temporary property tax break for Food and Friends

The property must be owned by Food & Friends, Inc. It only applies while Food & Friends, or any lessee, uses the site for charitable food distribution or related services. This relief is on top of any other tax help they get. The law is temporary and ends 225 days after it takes effect.
