Our little local library has a fundraiser that helps support their programs for children. The library has a tall glass case that houses donated costume jewelry. The library charges three dollars per piece of jewelry, and apparently the fundraiser does quite well for them. I, myself, have donated a fair share of gently used jewelry and I have picked up some great gems at a bargain price, as well!
I don’t have much on my mind today, but I thought that I would mention this fundraiser, as a good fund-raising idea for anybody involved with a church, or a school, or another organization, that has a constant stream of people coming through. The case, with the jewelry, does not take up much space and people just pay for the jewelry when they check out their books, so the fundraiser does not require a whole lot of manpower. Overall, it seems to be a win-win for everyone in the community.
