The "NEEDS" list includes a large number of items that fall into 3 basic categories:
1. Items we need/use for our clients
2. Items we need/use for the infrastructure (office supplies, kitchen equipment, etc)
3. Items that we can use and/or sell for financial resources for the ministry (vehicles, real estate, etc). (I am not a tax professional and do not mistake this for tax advice, please see a tax professional for any advice on charitable giving as it pertains to tax related issues). There are circumstances where it is beneficial for a "donor" to donate an item to a charity than to sell the item and give the proceeds to charity.
If you have questions regarding how your donation may be used, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
