I have done many fundraisers for charities over the years and always get everything from raffle ticket printing, posters, raffle prizes, advertising, decorations, venue, and even wine (for dinner fundraisers) donated. I just tell people who provide those services or sell those items that is a way they can contrubute to the charity fundraiser and just expect them to do it. The more you can get donated, the more money the fundraiser nets. In this case, fabric, thread, and batting should be donated by the members of the church-and if any memeber has family/friends who have a quilt shop (or fabric shop), maybe they can get some of it donated as well. Even in these tough times, most people will be willing to donate a small bit, and those small bits add up quickly! Like I said before, give them a choice of pitching in a few dollars (the cost of a cup of coffee!!) or having the fun of buying a bit of fabric. Good luck!
