FUNDRAISING

To help with the cost of the trip, our youth group planned 2 fundraisers; a perogie and farmer sausage lunch and a borscht and buns lunch.

Our church has two services Sunday morning and we served both services separately. We asked for donations only with no suggested amount given.

For our German Service, which has many elderly people, the youth plated the food and brought it out to every person. Then we served beverages and second helpings. It was a lot of work but it was fun working and serving with others.

For our English Service, the youth served perogies, farmer sausage and salad at buffet tables. Some served coffee and tea while others brought out more home baked desserts and home made buns when needed and served coffee and tea.   Everybody pitched in to clean up and do dishes later.

Here is a video of our Perogie/ Vereniki lunch fundraiser our Youth Group did on Nov. 17, 2013. We raised $12,000 for our Mexico Missions Trip in March 2014.



The borscht and buns fundraiser was also successful and helped us to raise about $10,000+ more.

In order to raise the rest of the money, we were to fundraiser on our own.  My parents had agreed to pay half and I decided to earn the rest of the money on my own working in construction and at my part time job on a chicken farm.
