Legal Question in Tax Law in California

We have been asked to participate in a 4-day event, by selling meals to rally participants and would like to donate profits to local youth organizations. Our problem arises with start-up funds to purchase the food. Locals businesses have offered to contribute to the cause, however, our concern is that they would like receipts for their donation and we are not a non-profit group. We are just individuals trying to help local youth. How do we avoid tax issues and do this right?
