In these busy times, where we no longer set aside time to get you know your neighbors, consider this neighborly fundraising idea. During the summer months people cookout and enjoy the weather, why not combine these activities and get to know your neighbors on your street, block, cul-du-sac, and do a little fundraising too.
Invite your neighbors for a “cookout and get to know you afternoon”, with everyone bringing not only a dish to pass, but a donation to your local food pantry. You get to have a fun afternoon learning more about your neighbors and also help your local food pantry at the same time.
You could do this with co-workers, church members, or other organizations that you belong too.
