Donations
Almost twenty percent of the Rockland Family Shelter budget is funded by private donations and we cannot maintain or expand our services without your help.
There are numerous ways to make a tax deductible donation to Rockland Family Shelter:
- Cash Donation - Simply write a check to "Rockland Family Shelter" or charge a donation to your Visa or MasterCard account with our secured donation form.
- Become Member - Your Membership will help insure that the beacon that is Rockland Family Shelter will continue to shine brightly for woman and children in need of services, and that the RFS struggle to end domestic violence and sexual trauma in our community will remain strong, vital, and growing. For more information on becoming a member please call 845-634-3391.
- In-Kind Donations - You can donate items needed by our shelter and administrative offices. Please see our Wish List
- Donate Stock, Bonds, Equities, Real Estate, Art - If you donate these items, you may avoid tax on the appreciated value while receiving a tax deduction. All items valued over a certain dollar limit may require an independent appraisal to meet IRS regulations.
- Bequests - Designate Rockland Family Shelter as a beneficiary in your will, trust, IRA, retirement or insurance plan.
- Donations in Memory - Send a donation in memory of a special friend, occasion, or anniversary. We will be happy to send an acknowledgement for the gift to the person of your choice.

- The Tappan Zee Thrift Shop, at 454 Piermont Avenue in Piermont, NY distributes all of their profits to 10 non-profit agencies. RFS is one of those agencies. Funds generated by the shop are allocated to RFS based on the items and the volunteer time donated to staff the shop in RFS's name. Please think of the TZ Thrift Shop when you have time or items to give. The shop needs buyers as well, has an exceptionally fine selection of merchandise, and is open for business Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10-4; Wednesday 1-4 and Sundays 2-5.
We will gladly help you coordinate any gifts or legacies you choose to benefit the Rockland Family Shelter. Please call us at 845-634-3344. Please be aware that we are not tax experts and are not familiar with each individual's tax situation. Therefore, we advise you to consult your financial, legal, or tax advisor about the specifics of your donation.
Every day we make a difference in the lives of our clients. But we cannot do it alone. With your help, we will continue to make a difference. We sincerely thank you for your generosity.
