A lot of people today have more than they require. They have clothes they never wear and live in remarkably luxurious houses. On the other hand, there are those who almost have nothing. These people struggle to get enough money for clothing and shelter. They often have no access to healthcare and many cannot even afford to buy presents, such as toys, for their children. They, therefore, end up depressed, wasted and in cases turn to drugs to suppress their frustrations.

Furthermore, some live on the street, in cars, or in shanties that can barely be described as a home. Sickness is common among these people, with a large percentage suffering from conditions caused by lack of proper clothing to guard them against the unforgiving weather conditions. Donating your goods  will enable us help these people and improve their living conditions.

The Donation Value Guide attached (PDF) helps you determine the approximate tax-deductible value of some of the more commonly donated items. It includes low and high estimates. Please choose a value within this range to include in your tax deductible receipt so that it reflects your item’s relative age and quality.
The Salvation Army does not set a valuation on your donation. It’s up to you to assign a value to your item. For professional advice, please consult your tax adviser.
