Ask adult members of your community to donate homemade meals packaged in a fun menu. These menus are then auctioned off. For example: Specialty Chocolate Dessert for Four, Spaghetti Dinner for Six, Fondue for Two, etc. The date of each dinner is negotiated between the cooks and the successful bidders.
Prep Steps:
1. Recruit volunteer chefs, and help them select an original menu name/idea.
2. Make sure chefs know they will be responsible for packing and delivering the meal.
3. Print attractive and fun “menus” for bidding.
4. Arrange a date and location for the auction.
Materials Needed:
1. Donated menus
2. Auction space
3. Bid sheets
Helpful Hints:
• Ask a local celebrity chef to participate..
• Create a sign-up/volunteer list for the playspace build at the door.
TIP! Do not reveal the names of the cooks until after the menu has been sold—adds more suspense and fun!
