The Complete List of Acceptable Donations for the Salvation Army

Donating to the Salvation Army is a generous way to support those in need while decluttering your home. However, it’s essential to know what items they accept to ensure your donations are helpful and appreciated. Here is a complete guide on what you can donate to the Salvation Army.

Clothing Donations

The Salvation Army gladly accepts clothing donations of all types. This includes men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing such as shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and accessories like belts and hats. They prefer gently used items that are clean and in good condition. Specialty items like formal wear or seasonal clothing are also welcomed.

Furniture Donations

Furniture is another significant area where the Salvation Army can make use of your donations. They accept various furniture items like couches, chairs, tables, dressers, beds (with mattresses), and more. If you’re donating furniture, ensure it is intact without major damage or wear since they will be providing these goods directly to families in need.

Household Goods Donations

In addition to clothing and furniture, you can donate an array of household goods. This includes kitchenware (pots, pans, utensils), small appliances (toasters or microwaves), bedding (sheets and blankets), linens (towels), and decor items such as vases or picture frames. Just make sure these items are clean and functional.

Electronics Donations

The Salvation Army also accepts working electronics including televisions (flat screens preferred), radios, computers (and accessories), gaming consoles, and other small electronic devices like smartphones or tablets. Make sure that they are in good working condition with all necessary components included when you donate them.

Miscellaneous Items Accepted by the Salvation Army

Besides the common categories mentioned above, there are miscellaneous items that you can also donate such as books (in good condition), bicycles for adults & kids alike; toys that do not have small parts posing choking hazards; sports equipment; tools; musical instruments; even vehicles. Always check if there’s a specific guideline on each item before making your donation.

Donating to the Salvation Army not only helps declutter your space but also supports individuals facing hardships in our communities. Before dropping off any donations at their centers or scheduling a pickup service online or over the phone with them directly—make sure you have this list handy. Your generosity can go a long way.
