Salvation Army Donations

Salvation Army Donations

Your donations are what keeps the will and dream alive. Sometimes living the dreams of a better

world, the one we live in, starts with small things. The year that is behind us marks 10 million

people willing to share and donate. The items that the Salvation Army Donations collected were used

clothes, used appliances, furniture and children toys. Once the donations are collect, they are

being sold. The contributions are always tax-deductible. Salvation Army Donations has many Family

Thrift stores around the country that sell the donated goods.

With money that is gathered that way the Adult Rehabilitation Centers are fund. These Centers are

made to help substance abusers and people with other issues. They are designed to provide those in

need with the tools to re-integrate themselves into society and to make themselves productive

individuals again.

You are provided with a tax receipt immediately for your donations when you donate household items

and clothes. This happens when you donate at a staffed location, and the recipient is for your own

records. If you bring and itemized list of your donations the process will be faster and easier.

You can get the receipt these ways:

a) when you bring your donations to the local Salvation Army Family Thrift Store or to the worship

and community center (Corps.) You will get the receipt from the receptionist or the clerk.
b) you can get the receipt from the truck driver when they come to pick your donations up.

or household items or furniture. You can also ask for the nearest location for drop off.

your donations in North America. Material goods and household items can be brought here. Here you
