What sort of school? (I'm assuming high school?)
You aren't likely going to find many "donations" on the "Buy/Sell/Trade" board.
Even if you posted it in recruitment or new members, the cost of shipping equipment is prohibitive. Your best bet would be to hit up the other Oregon groups; you are near the Nomads, Pyke, and Valhalla, with Tir na nÓg and Babylon south of you. They likely won't give you stuff for free, but maybe you can work out a trade deal, or get help building.
Zuloo's idea of fund raising is a good one (especially if you're in high school; people like supporting high school groups/sports). Also ask your club for donations. Even $5 a person can go a long way towads making swords. Folks are poor in school, but family's can often cough up $5-20 for their kids (with good reason).
Good luck.
