Harvest fun and fundraising for all the congregation

How your church can help Give Poverty the Boot!

Harvest Festival is a time to be thankful for our bountiful harvests, but also to remember those less fortunate than us who struggle with hunger and poverty. FARM-Africa helps poor farmers reap better harvests – now and for the future. So by raising money to support FARM-Africa’s work, your church can really make a difference this Harvest.

We’ve devised lots of fundraising ideas to involve the whole congregation. There’s plenty to appeal to children, from welly-decorating, growing competitions or welly baking! There are also lots of activities to bring together the whole family, such as plant sales and harvest fêtes. You can dust off those brain cells and team up for a quiz night, or skip your Sunday roast in favour of a hunger lunch.

Whatever you choose to do this Harvest, fundraising for FARM-Africa will help us Give Poverty the Boot!  

 

To give you a helping hand planning your Harvest Festival, we provide:

Give Poverty the Boot pack

  • A selection of great fundraising ideas
  • Sponsorship forms
  • A poster to inform about FARM-Africa
  • A poster to let your community know about your fundraising activities

Fundraising ideas and inspiration can be downloaded here.

Give it Some Welly and fill up a welly!

Why not swap that collection plate for a welly this Harvest? Donations, sponsor money, proceeds from cake sales, even small change liberated from down the back of the sofa – every penny counts. Challenge your church to fill that welly by Harvest!
