That way all the programs requiring fundraisers are pre-planned, listed in writing, voted on, and not competing with other programs or stewardship. I think for some churches, they vote in a tough-to-meet congregational budget and then additional fund-raisers are launched throughout the year with no attachment to that original agreed upon annual budget.

People from the church then sign up for the dinners; there is a $15/person charge for the dinner. Each meal raises $150 that goes to the youth.

This information is kept confidential, we don't waste time and resources raising money for the families who do not need assistance, and everyone is expected to participate in the few fundraisers we need to do.
