Youth : Fundraising

Our youth programs are supported by fundraising activities held throughout the year. The money raised by our youth at these events allows them to attend mission trips, ski trips, camp, and other activities at reduced or no cost. It takes a lot of work for these events to be successful, so all youth (and adults) are encouraged to help.

Kroger Cards offer an easy way to support the youth program by simply buying groceries. Click here for more information on how your purchases at Kroger can earn Community Rewards dollars for New Hope's Youth Group.

The Mexican Fiesta Dinner is held each winter. Middle and High School youth transform the church into a south-of-the-border style restaurant and enjoy an evening of greeting and serving all those who attend. Dinner includes salad bar, entree, beverages, and dessert. Come join us for good food and fellowship for a good cause. Watch for details on the next Mexican Fiesta coming in winter 2012.

The New Hope Garage Sale takes place each spring. This event attracts people from miles around central Ohio. This two-day event is our largest fundraiser. Watch for more information on next year's Garage Sale scheduled for Spring 2012.

Favor Auctions take place in the fall. Youth and congregation members donate goods and services, ranging from cultural dinners to babysitting, to be bid on via silent auction.
