A list of Wish Lists from

local Non-Profit Members

 

Whether it's a system upgrade that leaves you holding perfectly good equipment, too much of an over-stocked item on your shelves or, just the urge to purchase something useful, it may be just the thing one of our local non-profits could use to help carry out their mission.   In the long run, they get the tools they need to make our community better; you get to give the gift - and, you might even be able to write it off on your taxes!  **
