Have the youth group get donuts and

a set price. You could also set a jar
on the table to accept donations.

violation of the copyright law.

December for parents to let you
watch their kids. This is a great
chance for parents to do some
Christmas shopping.

permission to use the parking lot of a
store. Set out posters advertising
your car wash and the price per car.

Have a bike-a-thon, a pump iron-a-thon, a
skate-a-thon, a walk-a-thon, a trash-a-
thon, a prayer-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, etc.
Get sponsors to pledge money for every
mile you walk or ride, lift weights, skate,
etc. Set a goal before you talk to your
sponsors so that they can have an idea of
how much they might have to pay in all.

8. Gift-Wrapping Fund
Raiser

Plan a gift-wrapping service in a
store or at church. If it is at your
church, people can stop by on the
way home from shopping to have
you wrap their gifts.

9. Garage Sale
http://www.youthministrytoolbox.com
This is a great way to get your
church involved. Ask people in your
church to donate old stuff to your
garage sale. Then get a friend or two
to help with preparation and the sale.

10. Numbered Envelopes
http://www.youthministrytoolbox.com
Number envelopes 1 to 25, 50, or to any
number you would like. Add a place for
their name and address on the envelope.
Ask people to sponsor the amount of
money on the envelope. Have fun with
this. Let people choose like the game
“pick-a-card.” Some may take more than
one envelope. 1-25 raises $325. 1-50
raises $1275.

11. Waiting For Dollars
http://www.youthministrytoolbox.com
Find a local restaurant that is willing to
host your waiting for dollars event. Your
group will help with waiting tables and
bussing dirty dishes, in exchange for the
restaurant to donate $1 for each meal
sold. Pick a restaurant that is popular so
that you can ensure a large turnout.
Remember to be polite, fast, and
accurate. Try not to break any plates!
