As a side note to the above poster if you ever have the need for help with food definently see if Angel Food Network is in your area. I was in need of them one month and for 25.00 you get quite a bit of food and it is very good food. Just thought I would mention that if anyone ever finds themselves in a bad situation and needs some help foodwise.

If your church does not have non profit status, talk to your church elders and GET THAT DONE!it will help you a great deal in your fund raising efforts.Call upon your church for help.maybe you can put it in the next few church programs that you are seeking donations for a bake sale or for a garage sale.Then have one (or both)If you have a large church you can expect 40 percent participation (depending upon how hard your minister pushes it)With your non profit status, your local newspaper should give you a free ad. If not, they dont cost much.Consider going to the local sams club or other volume discount stores and buy hot dogs and chips and bread and sell the hot dogs at the garage sale. (with your non profit status, you wont pay taxes on it and you might get it even cheaper if you talk to the manager and tell them what you are planning to do)15- 2 liters, 300 hot dogs and buns (get the buns from the bread store) will cost you about $30.00 if that. you can sell the dogs with a drink for a buck or a buck and a half and make at least $250.00 profit (some people will undoubtedly buy more than one). You will also have to get about 4 rolls of paper towels and a few jugs of mustard and ketcup....what every you dont use in the way of the dogs and bread can be frozen and you can repeat the same process in a few weeks. That is awesome what your church is trying to do. I wish you much luck!

First pray. God always provides. If there's no prayer going on for the food closet you'll run low. Then go to the congragation. It's their responsibility to fill it and give for it. Then you can hand out flyers door to door asking for donations.

You can do a search online for fund raising ideas. I did that several years ago and came up with some very valuable ideas.

Those are some great ideas.
