10. Be… – Be consistent, prayerful, tenacious, credible.
9. Thank Them– Be thankful. Publicly acknowledge those who help.
8. Clarity – Be clear about what you need. ASK–in person is best!
7. Gift Card Potentials – Local Businesses such as Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. may be potential places to
contact for donated gift cards to use for supplies needed for your event.
6. Local – Contact local grocery stores or restaurants for donations for meals or snacks.
5. Lutheran Auxiliaries, Agencies and Recognized Service Organizations – Funding may be available through these organizations connected with your congregation or district.
4. Congregational members – Ask members to support your event. Put lists together, suggest they sponsor or adopt a project or area.

offering funds or collecting specific items.
2. Business Partners – Partner with all those you do business with–banks, supply companies, t-shirt companies, etc.
