Fund Raisers
The major fund raiser is and has been for the last 7 years, a Food Basket Drive, held prior to the Christmas season. The Benefit Fund utilizes telemarketing to contact citizens of Sedgwick County to solicit monetary donations. The money collected is then used to purchase food items, approximately $35,000.00 last year. These items are then packaged in boxes through a massive undertaking of project volunteers.
Two large boxes of food products are delivered to each of over 500 families in the Sedgwick County area each year. It takes about 3 to 4 days of volunteer time by many, many members and friends to complete this very worthwhile task. The Food Basket Drive greatly enhances the holiday season for many Sedgwick County residents whom are in need of assistance.
