In-kind donations offer businesses the opportunity to give excess merchandise, materials, or services while receiving the full tax benefits of a cash donation.  

In-kind donations help the Red Cross fulfill its mission to provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

The Red Cross requests full case packs for any consumable item. The Red Cross does not accept clothing but we do have a partnership with Goodwill Southern California. Clothing donations to Goodwill Southern California are converted into clothing vouchers for victims.
