As part of the 17th annual No More Shacks fundraising campaign, this year we are setting a goal to raise $100,000. Help us fill wheelbarrows and buckets with change so that we can Build More – sustainable homes, strong families, and servant leaders!
What? Wheelbarrow (or Bucket) of Change! A way to plug in with No More Shacks that uses wheelbarrows and buckets to encourage people to help fill them with spare change, checks and even gift cards from building supply and hardware stores like Lowe’s.
Why? To partner with ARM so that together we can meet our goal of $100,000, raise more awareness about poverty in our communities, and eliminate substandard housing in rural Alabama.
Who? Churches and youth groups who may not be local to Auburn but want to help and participate.
When? Set out your bucket or barrow beginning on October 6th, and leave it out for 2-3 weeks to collect change and gift cards then send it back.
