Create-A-Drive

There are many ways to help provide for the needs of the homeless and hurting. Contact us and we can together create a drive that will be a help to us and encourage your group.

Step 2 -- How do you motivate your group?
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
  • 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
