Answer: $3,528

Reasoning:
- Church check: $3,000 deductible.
- American Red Cross via payroll deduction: $500 deductible.
- City Council campaign contribution: not deductible (political contributions = $0).
- Habitat for Humanity — value of time: not deductible.
- Girl Scouts driving: 200 miles × $0.14/mile = $28 deductible (charitable mileage rate).

Total = $3,000 + $500 + $28 = $3,528.
