Here are some great ideas for your organization:
- Restaurants could offer breakfast/lunch/dinner to the attendees, and donate a portion of your proceeds back to the CIB Fund. Let us know what menu items you'd like to highlight. We could have several restaurants offering different types of food selections.
- Any club/organization can put together a friendly competition or a dinner such as a Chili Cook Off or Spaghetti Dinner.
- Business could bring in Mrs. Claus to serve hot cider while customers are shopping. Percentage of business sales over the weekend could be donated or could offer promotions on specific merchandise.
- Churches could host classes, cookie exchanges, luncheons, fashion shows, concerts, etc. with a goal of donating a part of the proceeds back to the CIB Fund.
- Canned Food Drive– Canned food items for local food banks could also drop off basket-making supplies to create food baskets for families for their Christmas dinner (no perishable items).
- Coat and Winter Boot Collection– Collect new or lightly used items are donated. House of Neighborly Services needs men’s work boots.
- House of Neighborly Services – Has listing of specific needs during the holidays. Business could work in conjunction with them in developing new idea/theme for their donation.
- Bake Sale – Local church or business could host this event with proceeds going to the CIB Fund.
