How to Donate Online Using PayPal

These instructions are crucial if you are donating in the hopes of winning a yearly incentive item as well as if you wish to receive a tax receipt from Lend a Helping Can at the end of the year. We will need your billing address and contact information to get this information to you at the conclusion of the auction every year. If you do not correctly follow these few steps, we will not be able to contact you with your receipt AND/OR be able to notify you that you've won an incentive item.
