Get out of Jail - haul your preacher or principal off to "jail". Take donations to get them out.
Collect loose change to raise money. This is usually the kids favorite way. You can do this a number of ways.
Send a letter out asking people to save their loose change for a certain amount of time, such as one month, then set up a location for them to drop it off by a certain date.
You can also put cans at numerous locations around town to collect loose change at cash registers.
This can even be an ongoing donation. I know one church that collects loose change all year round for their children's camp.
Another way to collect donations is to hire the student out to perform a task for the benefactor.
Some examples are mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, cleaning the house, washing windows and walking the dog. Students are then paid for the task they have completed.
