Care & Share Store
Our Retail Ministry helps keep stuff out of landfills, among other things. At our Care & Share Store, shoppers can find quality items at bargain prices, and the proceeds benefit the Kokomo Rescue Mission. Income-qualifying families and individuals receive thousands of dollars worth of clothing and other items every year. Our ministry also offers the opportunity for work rehabilitation for our residential guests and others in the community.
Gently Used Items
Your donations to our Donation Center directly support our shelters for men, women, and children. Thousands of dollars worth of items are given every year to income-qualified families in your community. Your donations make a difference!
The Donations Center Warehouse is located at the Care & Share Store at 314 W. Mulberry St.
When you donate clean, gently used items to the Kokomo Rescue Mission’s Care & Share Store, you’re helping to change lives for good! Proceeds from your donation helps to house the homeless, feed the hungry, and clothe the needy. Thank you for caring for your neighbor! The Donations Center Warehouse is located at 314 W. Mulberry St., in the Care & Share Store parking lot.

Need a receipt for tax purposes?
If you would like to receive a receipt for tax purposes, please print and complete the Estimated Valuation Guide. If you would like to keep a copy, please print two and our driver will sign them at the time of pick-up.
Don’t forget to get your receipt signed when you make your donation. We will not be able to validate donations by signing forms sent in later!
*If you itemize deductions on your federal tax return, you may be entitled to claim a charitable deduction for your Kokomo Rescue Mission donations. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a taxpayer can deduct the fair market value of clothing, household goods, used furniture, shoes, books and so forth. Fair market value is the price a willing buyer would pay for them. Value usually depends on the condition of the item. By law, a charity cannot tell you what your donated items are worth. We have provided the estimated valuation form to help you determine the value of your items.
