Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your donation will be used to feed 30 different people. However, we can assure you that a donation of €30 will make it possible to offer 30 different meals!

Will I get a tax receipt?

You will receive an annual tax receipt at the beginning of next year which will allow you to deduct up to 75% of your donation from your income taxes, up to a limit of €1000 in donations, then 66% for donations beyond that. So a donation of €100 actually only comes back to €25.
