 Find the best drive for you and your group
Fundraising Drive
The most effective way to care for the homeless is by sending funds. Your funds go immediatley to work helping the homeless and needy. We work hard to have your donation dollar be streatched to the max.
| On average, it costs us: |
| $1.79 - provides one meal to the hungry |
| $5.86 - provides one night's stay to the homeless |
| $7.03 - provides recovery classes and job skills trainning for one day |

| 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
