Oh by the way, I am using this post to help me find ideas to raise money for our volunteers to make it to Chicago in February for the Simply Youth Ministry conference. PLEASE HELP!!!!

1. Make sub sandwiches and sell them for $3 a piece. If you don’t put the condiments/toppings on them, they can be frozen. We did this with white buns and 3 meats & cheese with a parishioner who owns a local restaurant (whole sale prices).

2. Soup recipes in a jar; this is a good one for before Christmas as it makes a great gift and the older ladies love them! Just like cookie recipes but with dry Soup ingredients.

3. Invest in your youth. Sell “stock” to the locals but the profit is in the youth of the church. Have a meeting of “stock-holders” to tell them all about what you’ve been able to do with their donations.
