The DELIVER Act of 2025 increases the tax deduction for charitable mileage when volunteers deliver meals to homebound elderly, disabled, frail, or at-risk individuals. Currently, volunteers can only deduct 14 cents per mile for meal delivery; this bill would raise that rate to match the standard mileage rate used for business and medical purposes (which is typically higher and adjusted annually). The change applies to miles driven after the bill becomes law and affects volunteers and charitable organizations that deliver meals to vulnerable populations. The legislation has bipartisan support and is intended to encourage more volunteer participation in meal delivery programs by providing better tax incentives for the related transportation costs.
