How Does the Clothing Donation Process Work?
For over 30 years, NKFF has partnered with Sunshine Thrift Stores and Collection Solutions & Management (Florida registration #67971) to collect household items and clothing from the general public. Collection Services Management uses direct mail and other methods to notify the public of the needs. Trucks are then dispatched to neighborhoods to collect the donations. Donated items are then sold to local thrift stores and the money generated will be used to help the NKFF with its core mission, competencies, and programs.
Why Doesn't the National Kidney Foundation of Florida Charity Use My Donated Items Directly?
Enlisting in a trusted and registered partner to collect, clean, sort, and repackage items donated to the Clothing Donation Program allows us to focus our charitable resources on our mission and programs.
In addition to generating funds for our programs, the stores we work with that sell the clothing and household items provide a valuable community service through jobs and low-cost shopping opportunities for families on limited budgets. The company recycles most items it can’t use, keeping waste out of the landfill.
