A fundraising party.

One thing my group and I working on is a dinner. Getting a local eatery to supply the food at cost to us. We get kids from the local high school who are looking for service hours to help with set up, serving and clean up. The church will let us use their hall. We advertise in church newsletters and local shops. Sell tickets. We just have to figure out our cost, split the expenses and then sell the tickets for 50% more than the cost. Or go to a local Costco or wherehouse store and buy lasagne, heat, but salad and pre-made bread. Again the cost when you buy in bulk is low. If I alone invite my immediate family, I have 20 people. You know once people are there, they will throw in money, etc. You could have a raffle, etc.

Just another idea to help you out.
