May I suggest the Find Chelsea organizers talk to the Principal of the High school where Chelsea graduated, the local church officials, and the local chapters of the boy and girl scouts to organize a Saturday morning of "Chores for Chelsea". The idea would be for each individual student (or volunteer of any age) to hire themselves out for a chore to benefit the Find Chelsea effort. These chores could be cleaning out a garage, hauling away an old piece of furniture, painting a garage door, washing windows, waxing a car, etc. The minimum donation requested would be $25.00 for any given chore. All chore volunteers could meet at the courthouse steps or wherever at 4pm on that Saturday where the local paper could take a group picture of these awesome volunteers as they turn in their donations!
Something tells me the people of Monroe, MI could pull off an incredible "Chores for Chelsea" day, and the beauty of it is that everyone can participate! And really feel good about doing something to help bring Chelsea home!
