As a small synagogue, we do not have the funds to purchase new office equipment. As an example, our current computer system is over 4 years old and requires expensive upgrades to keep current. We are asking you to consider donating your good used office equipment to Beth Jacob, where it will be well cared for. If we recieve multiple items, we may find it possible to sell the items and use the funds in our general accounts.
Whatever the final disposition of the items donated, a receipt for income tax purposes may be issued based on the current retail value of the item, if approved. We will investigate the current pricing on items to establish a valuation.
As an example, current PC values will be obtained from PCused, a Toronto used computer reseller. (click here for their website). All items will receive valuations based on the date of donation, the condition of the item and the current prices.

In addition, the synagogue runs a silent auction each year at our annual dinner draw where new items that have been donated to the synagogue are put out for auction. A wide an varied range of items are sold at that time.
In past years the items have included jewllery, power tools, sports equipment, household items (ie: bedding, furniture, rugs) and Judaica & artwork.
Other items that you may have may be of interest to us, please contact us.
