WHY WE NEED YOUR DONATIONS

100% of the net proceeds support families affected by domestic violence. Your tax-deductible donations of gently used clothing, furniture, and household items, help end domestic violence in our community in two ways:

Survivors benefit from items donated to the thrift store and often are able to build a career wardrobe for an important job interview or select home goods and furnishings to help them rebuild a new home. Survivors and their families who receive services at Women In Distress are able to shop at the Thrift Store, at no cost, to help rebuild their lives.
Items are sold to the public and 100% of the net proceeds support our emergency shelter, counseling and therapy services and our other related programs.

HOW TO VALUE YOUR DONATION:
IRS GUIDELINES
If you itemize deductions on your federal tax return, you may be entitled to claim a charitable deduction for your Women In Distress donations. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a taxpayer can deduct the fair market value of clothing, household goods, used furniture, shoes, books and so forth. Fair market value is the price a willing buyer would pay for them. Value usually depends on the condition of the item. By law, a charity cannot tell you what your donated items are worth. This is something you must do yourself. To assess “fair market value” for your donations:

Consult a local tax advisor who should be familiar with market values in your region
