Perhaps the most direct and immediate way to shop-and-support the Humane Society is to patronize our Thrift Shops - either as a customer or a donor. At the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County, we want people to give as much thought to where they donate their clothes as they would to where they donate their money. Donors should give to charities they know and trust and that will make the most of their donations.

Suggestion for our donors... go ahead and fill in your «Receipt for Tax Deductible Donations» before you visit the Thrift Store. Our staff will "check in" the items you bring to us, sign the receipt for you, and give you a copy for your tax records. Have questions about the values of items you donate? See our "Tips For Donors" found below and take a look at this «valuation guide».

Items Accepted: Due to staff, space, and expense considerations, we are not able to accept everything. Here is a list of «donations we accept», which includes specific items we cannot accept. Please consult this list before planning your drop-offs.

TIPS FOR DONORS: Federal law permits the Humane Society's donors to claim tax deductions for many financial contributions and for donated clothing and household goods in good, used condition or better. If you’re unsure whether your item qualifies for a tax deduction, then consider this: if you would give it to a relative or friend, then the item is most likely in good condition and is appropriate to donate. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service requires donors to value their items.. We encourage you to refer to the IRS' guide entitled «Determining the Value of Donated Property» and the «IRS Form 8283». Before you drop off your items at the Thrift Shop, go ahead and download a «Receipt for Tax Deductible Donations». Fill it in in advance. When you get to the Thrift Store, our staff will "check in" your items, sign your receipt, and give back a copy for your tax records. To help assist you in determining the tax-deductible value of any items you donate, the Humane Society has compiled a suggested list with price ranges for items commonly sold in thrift stores. «See the valuation guide», Assume the items are in good condition, and remember - prices are only estimated values. If you have any questions, we encourage you to seek advice from a trustworthy tax advisor.

Frequently, certain featured items from our Thrift Shops are marketed on the web at either eBay or Craig's List. You can learn more about these current promotional items by visiting our «Shop & Support» page.
