Where/when can I bring donations? Do I need to make an appointment?

Donations can be dropped off at InterAct’s Pass It On Thrift Store in Raleigh and Fuquay-Varina. If you have a large In-Kind Donation, please let us know so that we can ensure there is staff to help!

Is there parking available?

There are designated donor parking spaces in front of the building in both Raleigh and Fuquay-Varina.

Will someone be available to help me?

To keep the store running smoothly and efficiently and provide great customer service, our staff cannot leave the store unattended to help unload donations from vehicles.

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 donating.  Pass It On Thrift Store cannot provide a donation receipt for any donations dropped off after hours.

I want 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 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 often transition out of dangerous situations, we keep their identities confidential. Therefore, donors can’t 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.
