The Problem

We're wanting to help people and organizations that need help during these hard economic times.

Plan of Action

We decided to decorate a jar and label it "Change for a Change". We came up with some ideas to get people at our school and in our community to help donate to our cause. Here's what we've come up so far... One idea was to have a "war paint" table at our high school kick-off cookout and first football game of the season. We bought all sorts of fun stencils, colored and neon face and body paints and glitter. We made posters to promote our table at the event and organized volunteers to man the table and collect donations. The second idea was to have a bake sale before school and during lunch. We posted the event on our Facebook and got volunteers to bake and sell items. More ideas to come!!
