Fundraising Ideas
Contrary to what many people think, raising funds is easy...
Often, churches and United Methodist Men groups will share with us the
ways that they have raised funds for the Society of St. Andrew. Perhaps
one or more of these ideas will be successful in your church or with your
Men’s group. They are presented in no particular order.
 | Set up a display with a large paper or cloth truck on a bulletin
board. Have a supply of paper or cloth potatoes available, each marked
to represent $5, $10, $25, or $50 worth of potatoes. Have a way for
people to make donations to “ship potatoes to the hungry.” After they
make their donation, have the donors put their "potatoes" into the truck
on the bulletin board.

| A church youth group sponsored a baked potato supper for their
congregation. The meal was baked potatoes and toppings. The group raised
$200 for the Society of St. Andrew.
|
| A men’s group in Freeland, MD did a similar “Spud Bake” along with
salad, drinks, bread, and dessert to raise $400 for Meals for
Millions.
|
| A youth group in Blackstone, VA held a rent-a-spoon meal to raise
$390 for the Society of St. Andrew.
|
| St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church raised almost $100 one year
through aluminum can recycling. |
Every penny you raise for this Meals for Millions will result in a serving of fresh, nutritious produce being delivered to a hungry American!
