Fundraising

 

Fundraising is the gentle art of teaching the joy of giving. - Hank Rosso

We could not run our organization without fundraising and the generosity of family, friends, acquaintances and community members who continue to return year after year to support our cause.

We just finished a very successful "Warming Hearts Evening" of dessert, wine and conversation, that raised enough money to finalize the purchase of 48 stoves that will be installed this summer by our volunteers.

Several schools have also taken on our cause and enthusiastically fundraised for us. Thank you to all those very caring students.

"Chicken Change" Ongoing Fundraiser

One of our most urgent need at this time is money for chickens!  Our volunteers are hoping to hand out baskets of chickens to needy families during their trip to Guatemala.  These chickens will provide protein to the families but can also be used for extra income from the sale of the eggs or chickens. The cost to provide these chickens to 20 desperate families is $845.  Any fundraising/donations you can direct towards this project would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to organize a fundraiser in your school, office, or community, here are some ideas (see our Fundraising Kits as well)

Bottle Drive

Bake Sale

Collect "Chicken Change"

Silent Auction

Car Wash

Make a family or office decision to donate instead of buying Birthday or Christmas gifts

Or sponsor a drive to collect needed items

Footwear in good condition (especially children's sizes)

Personal hygiene items

New school supplies (excluding paper)

Back packs

Blankets

Christmas presents

 

Thanks to all the people who fundraise for different organizations. Without you there would be no chance of making difference.
