Fundraising ideas for lunch can boost your community outreach efforts.
Fundraising ideas for lunch can give your organization an opportunity to fulfill the basic needs of local residents. Compare lunch activities or events that are profitable and easy to plan. Display hospitality skills to get positive results from men and women who are willing to support your cause.
Boxed Lunch
Offer complete lunches at one flat rate to corporate entities in your town. Instruct a group of volunteers from your organization to fill paperboard meal boxes with enough food for one individual. Boxed lunches usually include a sandwich, bag of chips, drink and dessert. Provide a variety of sandwiches such as turkey, roast beef and ham and cheese for fundraiser supporters to choose from. Dessert served with your boxed lunched can include cake, pie or fresh fruit selections.
Distribute fliers announcing the lunch fundraiser to local businesses and work-at-home professionals in advance. You can also include a price menu on the flier to give supporters an idea of what types of lunch items will be available. Designate a group of volunteers from your organization to deliver boxed lunches to local businesses that order these items during your fundraiser.
Barbecue Luncheon
Host a barbecue styled luncheon where guests can eat and socialize at your location. Setup an outdoor grill with food for your supporters during lunch hours. Provide a seating area for men and women who buy food and beverages to support your cause. You can serve hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, shish kabobs, chicken and ribs and other barbecued food selections during a lunch fundraiser. Provide dinner rolls, potato salad, corn on the cob and related side options to help guests receive a complete afternoon meal. Offer water for free while selling juices and soda to guests at a low price to meet your fundraising goal. Consider adding vegetarian options to the barbecue lunch menu as a way to boost sales.
Decorative Lunch Box Fundraiser
Invite members of the local work force and students to a sidewalk sale where they can buy lunch boxes from members of your organization. Partner with the owner of a popular restaurant or retail store who will let you setup a table in front of his public entrance to sell lunch boxes. Gather a large volume of plain metal lunch boxes and decorate them with the help of other members of your organization. Use stickers, paint, fabric, buttons and other arts and crafts supplies to decorate these lunch boxes. You can also ask entrepreneurs who sell handmade lunch bags to donate a portion of their inventory to your fundraiser. Member of your organization can resell donated merchandise at higher prices.
