FAQ's

Q. Can I donate gift vouchers?

A. Yes! We really appreciate and, in some cases, prefer gift vouchers. Gift vouchers mean a parent doesn't miss out on the joy and dignity of purchasing a gift for their child. Gift vouchers are also an ideal gift for teenagers who are often forgotten.

Q. Can I wrap the items I donate?

A. No, please do not wrap gifts. This allows parents the special experience of choosing gifts for their child's unique personalities and interests.

Q. Can I donate good quality used items?

A. No, please only donate new items. Please remember, the gift you donate may be the only present someone receives this Christmas. We know Christmas isn't only about receiving gifts, but this is one way we can help families feel special. Your nearest Salvos Store would gladly receive your good quality pre-loved items.

Q. What age group should I focus on for gifts?

A. Each year we are overwhelmed with gifts for younger children, but always run out of gifts suitable for teenagers and parents. Please consider these older age groups when purchasing gifts.
