Donating to The Salvation Army is a great way to give back to your community and help those in need. One convenient service they offer is free pickup of your donated items, making it easier than ever to contribute. But what exactly can you donate through this service?

Clothing and Accessories
The Salvation Army accepts a wide range of clothing items including shirts, dresses, pants, jackets, shoes, hats, and accessories like belts and scarves. These gently used or new clothes are distributed to those in need or sold at their thrift stores to fund community programs. Make sure the clothing is clean and in good condition before donating.
Household Goods and Small Appliances
You can also donate household goods such as kitchenware, linens, small appliances (like blenders or microwaves), books, toys, and decorative items. These items should be functional and clean. Donating these helps families furnish their homes affordably while supporting charitable efforts.
Furniture Donations
The Salvation Army’s free pickup includes furniture such as sofas, chairs, tables, dressers, beds (including mattresses), and other large household furnishings. It’s important that the furniture is in good condition without major damage or stains so it can be reused or sold effectively.
Electronics and Media
They accept certain electronics including working televisions, computers (desktops/laptops), radios, DVD players, CDs/DVDs/books on tape/CDs/VHS tapes provided they are in good working order. Donated electronics help support training programs or get refurbished for resale.
How To Schedule A Free Pickup With The Salvation Army
Scheduling a free pickup is simple: visit the official Salvation Army website or call their local donation line. Provide details about the items you wish to donate including quantity and type so they can arrange suitable transportation. Clear instructions about preparation—such as packing smaller items securely—may also be given for smooth collection.
Donating with The Salvation Army’s free pickup service is an easy way to declutter while making a positive impact on your community. By giving clothes, furniture, household goods or electronics that you no longer need in good condition ensures these valuable resources find new homes where they’re truly needed.
