This fundraiser is a great way to collect non-perishable and other items for a food bank. It is also a fun night out for the family. Create a list of items that are needed by the food bank, such as canned black beans, packages of toilet paper, canned meat, canned chicken broth, etc. Split your group into teams. If your group includes children or teenagers make sure each team includes one at lest one adult. Give each team a list of items to collect (each list could be different) and bags or boxes to hold the items they collect. Make the rules simple, such as no buying the items from the store and no collecting more than two items from each house. You may want to have a small card or flyer printed about your group and what you are trying to accomplish. Send the teams into local neighborhoods to search for the items on their list. Knock on doors and politely explain your mission. Ask if they are interested in helping you out. Award prizes to the first three teams that return with all of the items. Have dinner waiting for everyone as a thank you for participating.
