Tax receipt for goods donated for ward party

I am in the US. A local vendor has donated a bunch of food for our ward Christmas party. They asked if we can provide a receipt for tax purpose (they called it a 501c3 form, but I think it's more of a receipt they are looking for, not proof of tax-excempt status). Is there an official form for this or shall I just have the bishop write a note indicating receipt of the goods?

If I just make up a note and have the bishop sign it, is there any information aside from the church's tax ID (87-0234341, if google is correct) that I should put on the receipt?
