Disabled american veterans donations pick up service near me

Why There Is No Disabled American Veterans Donation Pickup Service in the Donation Town Directory

DonationTown was asked by Disabled American Veterans (DAV) to remove any of the DAV Donation pick up service contact information from our charity donation pickup directory. For practical reasons, we are including this statement and this webpage because of the inquiries we will need to answer individually if we did not.

Visitors to our website know that we do not charge any charity or donor to use the site. All charities that meet basic guidelines are welcome in our directory. Our number one goal is to help donors connect with charities in their local communities. Nevertheless, we will respect the wishes of the lawyers at Disabled American Veterans and not include DAV donation pickup scheduling information on our website.

Since we know that many of you (including DAV employees) have written in to DonationTown in the past and have asked us to include Disabled American Veterans in our charity donation pick up directory, we wanted to make sure to let you know that we did not accidentally forget to include DAV in our directory. DonationTown prides itself on being a grassroots organization and we want to encourage all of you to continue to send in information about charities in your community. (Please know though that any requests to include Disabled American Veterans in our donation pickup directory will be referred to this webpage.)

Disabled American Veterans is always welcome back on DonationTown.org, if they ever want to reconsider. It’s a great charity and we want to encourage all of you to continue to support their mission by donating to DAV donation centers in your local communities.
