In-Kind Donation Drive

If you wish to do an in-kind donation drive, first seek approval from your local Salvation Army. Once approval is granted by The Salvation Army, follow the guidelines below:

The Salvation Army only collects the following three types of products:

• Non-perishable foods
• Baby supplies
• Personal hygiene products

Used Clothing, Furniture, and Cars You are responsible for: sorting, packing, labeling, and arranging transportation of all collected items.

Collected items must be boxed, sorted into categories (separate food from baby supplies and hygiene items), and placed on pallets. Pallets must be labeled with the contents in the boxes and include the name of organization/company which completed the collection.

NOTE: Collected supplies may be directed to a staging area outside impacted areas for further processing. Food donations may be shared with partner agencies, who will use the donated product to build food boxes and hygiene kits that The Salvation Army will distribute to disaster survivors.
