OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIVING

Gifts of Non-Cash Personal Property:

Used Clothing and Household Items
Used Automobiles

Clothing and Household Items:

You may donate items of clothing and household items that you no longer need. Bethel Bible Village Children's Home will use these items where needed. If items are not currently needed for Bethel use, we sell the items at one of our four Thrift Shoppes. The sale proceeds are used for the benefit of our children.

You may bring (or mail if appropriate) your items directly to our Bethel campus located at 3001 Hamill Road Hixson, TN 37343 (intersection of Hamill Road and Cassandra-Smith Road — 2 miles east of Highway 153: near Northgate Shopping Mall). If it is more convenient for you, you may bring your items directly to one of our Bethel Thrift Shoppes.

If you have too many items for your car, or you have very heavy or large items, you can call our Hixson, TN Thrift Shoppe (870-9056) to arrange for your items to be picked up within the Chattanooga area.

You will receive an official receipt from Executive Director Myron Wilkins for your donation. We do not place a value on your donation since there is no universally accepted market value for items of used clothing and household items. You must determine the value of your donated items you claim on your income tax return. If you plan to deduct $5,000 or more for your donation of non-cash items, you must obtain an independent appraisal of their value. There are other special tax reporting requirements for you and for Bethel Bible Village Children's Home if you deduct $5,000 or more. Please inform the Bethel Bible Village Children's Home Development office ront@bethelbiblevillage.org or 842-5757 before you make your donation if you plan to deduct $5,000 or more for your donation.

Donation of Your Used Automobile:

You may have a used car, truck or other vehicle that you would like to donate to Bethel Bible Village Children's Home. If we can, we will use your donated vehicle in our ministry. If we do not currently have a ministry use for the vehicle, we will sell it and use the proceeds to provide for the daily needs of our children.

You must have a valid title to the vehicle.

To arrange for donating your automobile, please contact Bethel Bible Village Children's Home's Director of Support Services (randys@bethelbiblevillage.org) 423-842-5757 or toll-free 888-228-9499.

If you live a great distance from the Chattanooga area, we would want to evaluate the age, condition, and potential market value of your vehicle, and the delivery arrangements before we could accept it as a gift.

You will receive an official receipt from Bethel Bible Village Children's Home's Executive Director, Myron Wilkins for your donated vehicle. We will describe the vehicle, but we do not show a market value for it on your official receipt. You must determine the value that you will deduct on your income tax return. If you plan to deduct $5,000 or more on your tax return for your donated vehicle, you are required to obtain an independent appraisal of its value. There are other special tax reporting requirements for you and for Bethel Bible Village Children's Home if you deduct $5,000 or more for your deduction. Please inform Bethel's Director of Support Services at the time of your donation if you plan to deduct $5,000 or more on your tax return.
