Do You Have Clothing & Household Items You Don’t Need? Give Them to a Worthy Charity in Arlington, TX

During these unprecedented times, it’s more important to give to charity than ever before. And like many people, you’re probably staying at home than usual. Perhaps you’ve used some of your newfound free time to go through your closets, cabinets, garage, or basement, and now you have a nice pile of clothing and household items that you no longer use or need. What can you do with it? You can give it to charity!

Some of the donation centers you’ve taken your unwanted items to in the past might be closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But American Kidney Services (AKS) remains open and fully operational. As always, we are accepting donations on behalf of the American Kidney Fund (AKF), a charitable organization dedicated to ensuring that every kidney patient in the U.S. has access to necessary health care and that every person at risk for kidney disease is empowered to prevent it.

The Importance of Giving During the COVID-19 Pandemic

With the nationwide stay-at-home efforts seeking to slow the spread of COVID-19, the mission of AKF has become all the more critical. Many patients with end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) are struggling to get to their lifesaving treatment sessions, stock up on renal-friendly foods for their restricted diets, and purchase medical necessities.

In response, AKF has established a Coronavirus Emergency Fund to provide critically needed financial assistance to low-income dialysis and transplant patients in the U.S. who are facing unexpected expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. When you give to our charity, your donation will help AKF to provide vulnerable kidney failure patients with emergency assistance for food, transportation, medications, and other essential needs. And you can feel confident that 100% of your donation will go directly to deserving patients, not to overhead expenses.

If you’d like to give to a worthy charity, contact AKS by phone or complete the online form on our website to arrange a free pickup at your home in Arlington, TX. Your support of AKF is much more than a tax-deductible* donation; it is an investment in the lives of countless American children and adults who are struggling with kidney disease every day.
