try a fundraiser or walk a thon
Car wash, pot luck dinner, talent show, Christmas caroling
you could do a sponsored run.
clean a rich man’s house and get paid for it. that should make money right there.
Marines have toys for tots each year………….
you have alreadty started in that direction,get the local newspaper to profile you and what you do………..
put on a red suit, carry a red bucket and say, “ho, ho, ho. Marry Christmas” and walk around town…you don´t have to ask for donations, people will just give to you, or you can try odd jobs, depending on where you live, shoveling snow, raking leaves, you know, “yard work” :)
Could always do a sponsor a child program.
People love to see what or who they are helping. With the price of digital pictures today, it wouldn’t be really expensive to get picture of the kids at the home, along with their age. Then ask a person to sponsor them for like $ 30, which would cover a present and movie ticket. We did something similar and had a great response.
If you work for a company with many people, do a contest with maybe your employer giving a reward (dinner for 2?). Have each employee see if they can raise money for donations by talking to other companies in your area.
You could do this on your own, just call the companies and tell them what the charity is for, make sure you have contacted the charity and get a letter of recommendation from them to show the companies to prove you aren’t just collecting money, ask them to write checks out to the children’s home, and make very sure to give receipts and keep a list of donors/$ $ given.
You could get the kids at the children’s home to make Christmas cards, copy and sell them to other companies or send them as thank you gifts after donations are made. Kids love crafts! (Well, most of them!!!)
Best wishes on this! and Merry Christmas!
Golf tournament/ jail and bail/ bake sale/ sale Christmas items/ auction of donated goods/ Can you work with your local church or Chamber of Commerce. What about involving the Rotary Club or Lion’s Club? Isn’t that what they’re there for is to do community good. Schedule to speak at one of their meeting for a few minutes and present you cause and see if they will take it up. Our Clubs are always looking for new projects. Talk with your City Counsel person and ask for help / suggestions.
Have people to donate good usable items for a garage
sale and use the proceed for the Kid’s home. Garage sales
usually always bring in big crowds. Put our containers for donations too. Or combine a bake sale too. The best of luck.
It is admirable what you are doing.
we raised $ for a children’s home once with a great house party. find someone charitable with a nice pad, tell everyone to get dressed up and bring some food. Everyone chips in $ 30, $ 15 goes to what they drink and $ 15 goes to the kids. If a house party is too low class go to a local bar and ask if they would give you a $ 15 open bar on a slow night for a good cause.
