- Collect cans- ask neighbors for their cans and pick them up when you see them outside. 4-5 trash bags of cans will yield $15-$20.
- Do odd jobs for pay for parents or grandparents
- Consign clothing or toys
- As a family, forgo eating out and put that money towards your cause.
- Offer Christmas cookies for sale to friends and neighbors
- Babysitting
- Fall leaf cleanup
- Pet sitting
- Have a yard sale (Ask for a donation instead of naming prices- you'll probably earn more this way.)
- Car wash
- Snow removal
- Dog walking

Christmas Giving

I know a family whose kids (ages 4 and 6) have decided to earn money to buy a camel for a family in Asia through a charity! Here are some great ways to get your kids started:
