Bottle and Can Drives
This can be a one-time event, or an on-going activity to raise both funds and recycling awareness.

Car Washes
At a school, after church, at a gas station, car dealership or car club.

Craft Shows
Troops exhibit hand-made crafts as a group. Several Troops can organize a show with each one creating a specific craft. The show could highlight a season, a holiday or a theme. A school-based Troop could partner with the PTA, etc. 

Spaghetti dinners, hot dog lunches, baked goods sales,
ice cream socials
Troops can ask area merchants to donate supplies for these events (e.g., pop, rolls). However, no brand logos can be displayed on items. For example, pop can be poured into an unmarked cup or the label on container must be covered. Additionally, a Health Permit must be secured for any event at which food is cooked, even if the facility has a permit. NOTE: No major corporation can be solicited without obtaining clearance from the Development Office at the Service Center.

Collecting cash register receipts or coupons
Some supermarkets will exchange money or goods for your receipts or cents-off manufacturers’ coupons. This is a good way to involve families and neighbors in your fundraising. Although Tops Supermarkets no longer supports this activity, other grocery chains, such as Dash Markets, do.

Bagging Groceries or Gift Wrapping
Arrange with a local supermarket to have a Troop(s) bag groceries on a specific day. With the supermarket’s permission, set up donation jars at the registers so shoppers can contribute. Many local stores; e.g., Gander Mountain and Barnes & Nobles, will allow Troops to set up gift-wrap stations on holidays, especially during the Christmas season.

Garage Sales
Get usable, saleable contributions from families, friends and neighbors and have a neighborhood garage sale. Combine the cast-offs of numerous households to increase the selection and appeal for sidewalk shoppers. Earn additional money by making baked goods and beverages available for your patrons.
