Can I deduct the cost of supplies I purchased for a church neighborhood group?

[jim-carlson81]

My church has a neighborhood group structure. I lead one of the groups in my community. I purchase videos and a leader's guide which we use for our group study and discussion.  Unlike a lot of church activities, the study is held in my home. My church does not reimburse me for these expenses.  Again, these are purchased so we can use them as a group.  I do not purchase them for my own use or study.  Can I claim them as a deduction (non-cash contribution) on Schedule A?

These are charitable contributions that are deductible on Schedule A  This TurboTax website gives more information on this subject (and a video):  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/charitable-contributions/video-does-the-irs-allow-deductions-fo...
