Bake sales are popular for a reason – most people enjoy a delicious sweet treat! Bake up a storm at the weekend bring it into work on Monday – or combine efforts with friends and family to make it a bigger event. Halloween is right around the corner, so perhaps you could make some spooky snacks?
Invite friends over or convince coworkers to stay one extra hour, and teach one special skill like cooking, baking, knitting, playing guitar, dancing, or whatever talent you happen to have. Friends and coworkers who want to learn can pay a small fee to participate.
If you're not particular skilled in crafts, why not flex your merchandising muscles? Ask your school, your family, your neighbours, and friends to donate books, clothing and items that they no longer need. These can then be sold to raise funds.
