American Red Cross of Central Florida 

In-Kind Donations

The American Red Cross Central Florida may accept gifts-in-kind that are appropriate to our mission. We do not accept donations of food or clothing for people affected by disasters because of the logistical difficulties of storing and delivering these items, and because the opportunity for a person affected by a disaster to shop for new clothes is helpful in the recovery process. For donations of food, we suggest calling your local food bank or soup kitchen. For clothing and household items, contact your local Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Generally, gifts-in-kind that we do accept are large quantities of goods direct from a manufacturer, such as blankets or medicine. The Red Cross will sometimes accept bulk donations of products that are immediately needed on an ongoing disaster relief operation. "Bulk donations" refers to large donations of a single product. Because the quantities required on relief operations are significant, these donations are typically provided by companies that manufacture or distribute the product needed, and have the resources to ship it directly to the disaster site.
