El Cajon has a decent amount of traffic and several large open areas to set up your car wash.
Below is the link to the city’s guidelines for a fundraiser car wash.

Bake sale, car wash, mow lawns, shovel snow, walk dogs and so on. You need to earn it.

Jon,

Bake sales, raffles, craft fairs, rummage sales, clothing consignment drives are all good ones.

May favorite Christmas fundraiser is gift wrapping. Go to a local retailer and ask if they’ll let you do in-store giftwrapping for their customers in exchange for donations. They usually love to be able to offer the service.

Go to business with a good location, a corner on a busy street, and ask the manager if they would be willing to give a donation toward this goal. Whatever answer they give, then ask if your group can use their parking lot for a car wash on a Saturday or Sunday. If they say yes, look for a water faucet and ask about the key to open the faucet. Make signs for the car wash so kids can hold the signs near the lot for donations. You can do fliers. A car wash can be at the church as well. A bake sale is a traditional favorite. Some parents are very good at making banana bread and zucchini bread. Kids tend to be good at cup-cakes. Older kids or young adults tend to be good at crispy treats. They go like hot-cakes. Selling outside the grocery store is sometimes a good gimmick. Ask the manager first.

Red Queens hoagie idea is good. Ice Cream socials usually pull in some money. For either one, you could always add in a bake sale. If you have a Gordons Food Service near you, you could talk to a manager about doing a fundraiser with candy bars (they sell them at GFS fairly cheap). Hell, throw them all together and have a huge party for the community. Yard Sales are also good money makers. Depending on how much time you have, you could also find out when the next community/city function is and rent a booth at it as well. Good luck! I hope it all works out for you and your church. =)

My son’s French club raised $1,066 per student for a trip to Quebec City by selling 6-inch hoagies (subs) for $3.50 each. The sales were phenomenal. Nearly everyone asked was happy to purchase a sandwich. At $3.50, this was something affordable to all. On the day the sandwiches were to be distributed, the students gathered in the school cafeteria to make them assembly-line style, which took only 2-3 hours. This is one of the most successful fundraisers we have ever participated in.

Another popular fundraiser is a cookbook sale. Perhaps the women of your church could help in soliciting and gathering recipes, with an equal amount from total sales being deposited in each child’s account. This would also work well for church bake sales, quilt raffles, rummage sales, spaghetti dinners, etc.

The members of a local church are often seen in front of our Walmart selling bags of various flavored Tootsie Rolls for $2 each. They do this each year, to fund trips to South America.

Another successful fundraiser in our area has been the ever-popular candy bar sales through a local candy maker. Ask at your school for the names of the candy salesmen they use. We also have a pizza shop that participates in $5 cheese pizza sales, as well as a convenience store that offers coupons for a sandwich, chips and drink for $5. As with the hoagie sales, these are enormously popular. Check with the pizza shops and convenience stores in your area to see if they offer similar fundraising opportunities.

Last but not least, a local public school teacher found her calling in Uganda, where she eventually settled to set up an orphanage. Through the generous donations of the students who deposited the change from their lunch money into a jar each day, an orphanage, clinic, and school were built and furnished in just over three years. Where there’s a will…

It is my hope that you are able to utilize some of these ideas. Good luck to you and your group.
