Family of God, Fort Mohave, AZ

Clean the Church- At our church, the congregation members sign up for their month and they have the option of cleaning the church themselves or paying the youth group $45 per section. We have 3 sections.

Car Washes- After church (especially successful if there is a meeting going on after the service), our youth wash members cars for donations. We do this for 4 months straight about every 3 weeks. Minimal cost involved.

Hire the Youth- Last year our Youth group announced that they were available to be hired out to members and members of the community to: clear weeds, move heavy lumber, move furniture etc.

Valentine Dinner-Each year we put on a Valentines Dinner. We decorate the fellowship hall and make it cozy and host a dinner. In the past we have done an Italian theme, this year it will be Mexican.

Rummage Sale- Highly successful and minimal cost. Ask members to donate unwanted items. Advertise, (the ads for us are free in our local paper in the community section) put out lots of signs.

Selling Christmas Cards & Napkins-Selling Christmas cards is an easy fund raiser if you take orders and collect the money when you take the order. Oshkosh Church Supply (414-235-4330) will send you a catalog and suggestions on how much to charge for the cards and napkins. Some churches use this as an ongoing fund raiser. They order several kinds of cards and make a display fo all the cards availble. The members buy them individually for special occasions (birthdays, confirmations, anniversaries...).
