I volunteer at the Christian Food Pantry in Lady Lake and it is heartwarming to see the amount of both food and money that comes in from donations. I offer donation receipts to the donors but most say they do not want them.

The "something in return" you are talking about for donations may just be the good feeling you give yourself when helping others. If that is it, I agree.
