Do you do pick-ups or do we need to deliver the donations ourselves?

InterAct is unable to do pick-ups. All donations must be delivered.

Can I get a receipt for my donation for tax purposes?

InterAct is recognized as a tax-exempt, 501 (c)(3) charity by the IRS (EIN: 58-1320613) and your contribution is deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donation receipts are available for donors to fill out when making a donation.  Pass It On Thrift Store is unable to provide a donation receipt for any donations dropped off after hours.

I would like to make a specific donation but I do not see it on your list, can I still bring it?

If you have a question about a donation that you do not see on our list, please email or call beforehand. donations@interactofwake.org or 919-865-1601

I have donations but would like to give them directly to the clients served. Is this possible?

Since the individuals and families we serve are often transitioning out of dangerous situations, we ensure that their identities are kept confidential. Therefore, it is not possible for donors to meet the clients who will benefit from their contributions.

I have additional questions, who can I contact?

We would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Please email or call 919-865-1601 to speak to a representative from InterAct about your donation.
