*Food*: Give to your local Salvation Army Food Pantry

*Miscellaneous Items*: Check with your local Salvation Army and Red Cross
chapters to find out what is currently needed for disaster relief efforts. They will coordinate collection and delivery. Unfortunately with areas in turmoil it is difficult to get donated items in and out of the disaster areas and once they are delivered storage is also a challenge. Both the Salvation Army and Red Cross coordinate donations from all over the country to go to areas in need, so donating locally helps disaster victims throughout the United States.
3 point per item average – max ? (e-mail nrcharity@gmail.com if you are donating something of higher value (tools, respirator, etc) and we will evaluate the donations on an individual basis)

*NOTE*: Many states have a tax free weekend coming up in August. Pay no taxes on back to school supplies that weekend. Check with your state’s Department of Revenue to determine if your state is participating.
*NORTH CENTRAL REGION – CHARITY CALENDAR*
We will be dividing the year into quarters and running a drive per quarter. Each drive will have a theme and support two types of charity. These are purposefully broad categories that will allow us a great deal of flexibility. More information and charity suggestions will be provided at the beginning of each quarter. We hope that knowing what is coming up in advance will be helpful and give you more time to plan.
Please note that additional drives may be run at any time in order to offer emergency support to our members or areas of our region as needed.
