Altrusa Club Holds ‘Save The Chickens From The Pit’ Fundraiser In Lieu?Of BBQCOVID-19 has forced local Altrusa Club members to become creative in their fundraising.
This year, instead of selling tickets for barbecue chicken meals, they asked supporters to save the chickens from the pit. No buying tickets in advance. No driving to the designated location. No waiting in line. No sticky-greasy fingers.
Their "Save the Chickens from the Pit" fundraiser only asked for donations to be mailed to Altrusa International of Warsaw, P.O. Box 1111, Warsaw, IN 46581-1111 anytime this fall.
Their solicitations also made suggestions for donations: $10, single serve saves a half chicken and calories from the side dish; $20, couples deal saves two halves and calories from those carbo-laden sides; $40, family of four saves two chickens plus all the high carb calories; $60, family of six saves three chickens and a bag of potatoes; $80, saves four chickens from a family of four and the grandparents; $100, saves five chickens as well as time and energy from inviting the neighbors.
Donations help Altrusa International of Warsaw to support bingo for Beaman Home, CASA, their adopted class at Lincoln Elementary, Combined Community Services Project Independence; Kosciusko Literacy Services, Salvation Army, Baker Youth Club, Habitat for Humanity, Mobile Meals, Breath of Life Haiti and Strengthening Families Program among others.
Altrusa International is an international nonprofit organization making their local communities better with over 1 million volunteer hours annually through their members’ leadership, partnership and service, according to a news release from the Club. The local club has served the Kosciusko County community for nearly 50 years.
