Donating Goods
Needs List for Arrow River Forest Hermitage
last update - April 6, 2010
The lay community often asks "What type of goods can I donate?" To help you
decide what is appropriate for donation, below is our current list of needs.
Many of the items are used or consumed regularly, while others are project
specific. All items are non-perishable in nature.
Please check with the hermitage before donating perishable items; our
storage facilities are limited.
All donations of goods requiring a tax receipt are to be
accompanied by:
- the donors name and mailing address
- proof of fair market value (ie. receipt of sale showing place of
purchase, date and dollars paid).
The stewart of ARFH will sign that goods have been received and forward
all information to the treasurer for issuing of an official receipt.
