If every youth attendee donated $5 per term (less than the cost of 1 dinner at McDonald's) each term... Our budget will increase by 50% So yes, your small donation can make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for your generosity. You are sowing into such a valuable cause; the local church. There is no need for you to give here, unless you feel inclined to give more and have it go specifically to youth! Nonetheless, your regularly giving already supports the ministries of our church.

Currently, 100% of the youth budget is allocated to providing dinners on Friday nights. Fortunately, 1 in 4 volunteer cooks choose not to be reimbursed allowing us to spend 25% on other things instead. That 25% is split equally between property damages caused by youth, youth Christmas party, a youth leader's retreat and a small portion of Friday and Sunday resources such as snacks, games equipment and prizes. A small increase in budget will allow us to do bigger and more exciting games (possibly hire bigger things), purchase more spiritual resources (especially bibles to give away), make more substantial dinners and support our young leaders by reducing the amount they have to buy out of their own pocket.
