Embarking on a mission trip to Honduras is an endeavor filled with purpose and meaning, but it also requires financial support. While we are using traditional fundraising methods, we are trying to be creative, as well. One such creative solution that not only raises funds but also fosters community involvement is hosting a yard sale.
Picture this: a sunny Saturday morning, a yard filled with donated goods, and a steady stream of eager bargain hunters. That’s the scene we saw as we set out to fundraise for our upcoming mission trip. But the success of our yard sale wasn’t just about making money; it was about rallying support from friends, family, and the community at large.
The Generosity of Donors
We tapped into the generosity of friends, family members, and community members, asking for donations of gently used items. From clothing and household goods to furniture and electronics, the response was overwhelming. Thank you to all who donated for our trip. While we are the ones going to Honduras, you are the ones sending us and are just as much a part of the story that takes place in serving the kids in Honduras.
There is Still a Need
With 53 days left, we are still in need of close to $8,500 in funds to help support our trip. Will you help send us by donating at our Managed Mission account by clicking HERE? Please pray that we meet our goal and exceed it. Every dollar helps a child learn they are loved.
Conclusion
Hosting a yard sale for our mission trip to Honduras was more than just a fundraising endeavor—it was a testament to the power of community and generosity. By rallying support from friends, family, and the community, we were able to turn donated goods into dollars, ultimately fueling our mission to make a positive impact in Honduras. As we prepare for our journey, we carry with us not only the funds raised but also the spirit of unity and compassion that made our yard sale a success.
