Church Rummage Sale Fundraising

It 'a simple concept, you have a garage sale. The average household can increase the 1-200 dollars, with a weekend garage sale. Now take this idea and apply it to a church with an average attendance of 100 people. How much money do you think this sale would have raised?

A church with an average attendance of 100 people can easily pick up 2:00 to 3:00 thousand dollars, two days with a fundraising rummage sale.

The plan is simple. Set dates for fundraising rummage sale and to reserve space to hold the sale. Next ask for donations for your congregation. You will be amazed at what will be donated. People are always happy with a non-load unused items and especially excited when the profits go to support your ministry.

And 'the key to the success of having a good sized list of volunteers. You'll need it when they start the donations pouring in. Plan for at least two days of preparation time to set up the market to raise funds. Do you want to group like items together, this will make it easier for customers to find what they are looking for. If you're going to have a significant amount of clothing for children you plan to sell all products for children for less than $ 1.00.

With children's clothing and toys for advertising anything over $ 1.00 you can draw in more buyers. Also this will give you the opportunity to advertise all events for young people or families who are coming.

After the sale plan to have a day of cleaning, if you're lucky you only have a handful of items left after the sale and easy cleaning. It will take all the left over items to a local donation center. This may take a few trips or a truck to bring all the left over items.

A fundraising market can give a great boost to your annual fund-raising goals. So, go out and have fun .......
