The income AmericasRelief Team receives from used clothing collection bins will go to underwrite such things as shipping, transportation, and warehousing of relief aid to make sure it gets to those in need as fast as possible.

AmericasRelief Team is dedicated to the rapid and efficient distribution of relief to vic-tims in the Americas. AmericasRelief Team is a Florida private sector collaboration of corporations and non-profit organizations created to help our Latin America and Caribbean friends in times of crisis and disasters. AmericasRelief Team reacts to immediate crisis, provides ongoing logistics assistance, and conducts plans for future events in the region which will require effective coordination of humanitarian relief.

Just as most other charitable organizations, AmericasRelief Team sells most of the donated reusable and recyclable used clothing to raise funds for the programs of the organization.

One of AmericasRelief Team’s biggest concerns is that much of the aid earmarked for disasters becomes stacked up at collection centers. A logistics bottleneck keeps relief aid from getting to the people with the greatest needs, so the largest portion of your donation goes to underwrite such things as shipping, transportation, and warehousing of relief aid to make sure it gets to those in need as fast as possible. AmericasRelief Team also conducts multiple programs and initiatives as advocates, coordinators, and facilitators in the planning and implementation for the effective distribution of disaster relief to victims of humanitarian crises in the Americas.

AmericasRelief Team makes every effort to ensure that the maximum possible amount from donations is earmarked to programs that help get relief aid to the victims of disasters in the Americas. Our target is to get approximately 85 cents of every dollar we collect to go toward programs for the rapid and efficient distribution of relief to victims in the Americas.

Sorry, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not allow charitable organizations such as AmericasRelief Team to determine the value of an in-kind donation such as used clothing. You need to make your own honest determination for IRS purposes.

Yes, AmericasRelief Team will provide you with a generic "Used Clothing Donation Receipt." You need to set your own valuation.
