Tips & Warnings
Make sure the jerseys you send are in decent condition. Donations are always appreciated, but do not send gear in such poor condition that it cannot be used. Keep track of the donation in your records. It is tax-deductible.
Do not send gear before getting in touch with a representative from one of these charities. Make sure to confirm the shipping address and donation details to avoid losing the jerseys.
