Receipts for Gifts In Kind

We do issue tax receipts for food items that have been purchased and donated. We do not receipt gifts of used or new clothing. Below are the guidelines and steps you must complete to be eligible for a tax receipt:

  • You must ask for a tax receipt when dropping off food items.
  • The staff receiving the goods will verify the quantity and quality of the items donated and they will take photos of the goods received.
  • Please give the staff member the receipt/receipts that support the purchase of the items.
  • While you are there, the staff will complete the Gift in Kind donation form.
  • If your donation does not fit into the above criteria for a tax receipt, and you believe it is eligible for a tax receipt, please contact us at donate@scottmission.com before dropping off your donation.
