Have a lot you want to do but very little money to do it with?
Hint: When you buy supplies for your car wash, make sure you buy eco friendly car wash cleaner. Spirit Chain: People buy links on their class's paper chain for .25 or .50. Each has 1 (or 2) colors and at the end the class with the longest chain is named most spirited. Good before homecoming. Donation containers: Ask local stores if you can leave donations cans at their counters. Design the cans, empty them regularly, and thank the store owners! Can and bottle collection and recycling: If your community pays for can and bottle recycling, ask people to donate theirs on a given day and bring them to the recycling center. Dog walking: Your group members can get paid to walk the dogs of members of your community for a day or more. Yard work: Your club members can get donations by going door-to-door in their neighborhoods offering to collect leaves, shovel snow, weed, mow the lawn, etc. Yard sale: Ask parents at your school to donate old clothes and unwanted items to a yard sale to be held at the school. Then invite them all to the event. Lazy for a day/at Lunch: Ask your principal if you can put a lounge chair in the classroom or in the lunchroom. Then sell tickets ($.25 or $.50 each) to students to win the chance to eat lunch or sit in class in the chair. ![]() Guessing game: Fill a large jar with a large number of small candies (jelly beans, for example) and get students to guess the amount of candies for a donation.
