An area of expertise or knowledge (wills, wine, bread baking, tax preparation)
Sports, theatre, or event tickets
A great home or office location in which to host an event, meal, or reception
A place at the beach, mountains for a weekend getaway

What Can You Do? Offer a Service:

Contribute hours of sewing or alterations to empty someone else’s mending basket.

Culinarily inspired? Do a Greek, Italian, French, or African dinner
Like to cook? Offer a soup/salad/bread or other “meal of the month” along with home delivery (this is fun to do with a group of friends)
Pet care, housesitting, plant watering, rides to the airport
Lead a theme tour—local geology, gardens, historic homes (or talk a friend into it)

Lack time to think about this but committed to helping out? Buy a VISA gift card or gas card. Your Procurement Committee will creatively pair your generous donation with something else.
