Can I give her a receipt, and is there a form to use for this?
The bishop should look at sections 14.4.8 and 14.6.5 in Handbook 1. It basically discourages in-kind donations and requires approval from CHQ, which is the only entity that issues receipts for in-kind donations.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong in someone giving a donation -- it is a very thoughtful action. But local units are not in a position to issue receipts.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
