  Build excitement, compassion and action
  • Competative: Multiple groups trying to out-do each other.
    • Progress-O-Meter: Set a group goal / mini-goal per person and have a thermometer or gague to show the progress of your drive.
  • Compassion: Because of the great need, how could I not give or impact one life.
    • Guest Mission Speaker: come and talk about the the Rescue Mission and tell about homelessness, recovery and the great need
  • Contribution: Everyone has something to give, value the act of giving, that’s what counts, not the substance of what was given.
  • Social Games & Ice-Breakers
    • Scavenger Hunt -- Have multiple teams go out and see who can be the most creative on gathering specific items on a list
