We want to Donate a dining room set but is there a place that will issue a tax receipt?

Question

We live in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada - we are looking to get rid of our very usable dining room set (table, x6 chairs, long sideboard and china cabinet). Is there a place that someone can think of that would take it as a donation but give out a tax receipt for it???

Answer 1

Goodwill, the St. Vincent's DePaul Society, the Salvation Army, and many other places will take your furniture off of your hands and issue you a receipt. Some will pick the furniture up and some will not. Best advice is to call them for information.

Good luck with your donation.

Answer 2

Lood for the Goodwill, or the Salvation Army. There's a catholic version too, I just can't remember what it's called. Any of those are valid charities, and donations are tax breaks. Most churches would also know of charities that could use furniture.

Answer 3

Goodwill, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Habitat for Humanity,...
Look in the phone book under non-profit organizations and start calling.

Answer 4

On top of all the other great ideas, you might try looking up an American Cancer Society number. They have thrift shops that benefit the ACS, and they'll give you a slip.

I took my deceased mother's clothes there when my father died of cancer. It was very cathartic knowing that I was contributing towards a good cause.

Answer 5

If you have a salvation Army they will give you one and actually any place that takes donations should be able to give you a reciept of donation

Answer 6

Good Will will give you a tax paper if you ask , and you decide the value ron
