Donations to Ward Giving Tree
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 12:35 pm
At Christmas time, our ward over the last few years has put up a "Giving Tree" in the foyer. On the tree are tags for people to take if they want to do something for less fortunate families (annon of course). Listed on these tags are items family members may need, clothes, toys, etc. Some tags are for gift subscriptions to church magazines too.
We have alway used an Other account to run these through. Last nights audit says cash donations for magazines or in lue of toys should go through fast offerings so the donor get credit. My question is, if they get credit this way and not for donations fo presents - is this right? Maybe we should go only for cash donations.
Appreciate any thoughts.
