These tabs will assist you in determining the tax-deductible value of any items
you are donating to The Salvation Army. You will see that the table includes low and high estimates of value. Please choose a value within this range that is in keeping with your item’s relative age and quality. If you have questions, your local Salvation Army Thrift Store and donation center will be able to assist you.

A receipt for your items may be obtained in one of two ways:
1. If you drop off a donation at a local Salvation Army Family Thrift Store or Corps (worship and community center), the clerk or receptionist will be happy to provide you with a receipt.
2. If you have your donations picked up, the truck driver will provide you with a receipt.
