I need some creative community service ideas...?

Oh, let me tell you about the most fun we had with a fund raiser. They called it "Oodles of Noodles" and they collected all kinds of pasta for the local food pantry. Each class was assigned a type of pasta (the one group had Ramen Noodles; then hollow pasta (like elbow macaroni); then solid pasta (like spaghetti and egg noodles) and the last group could have any kind of pasta)
Pasta is relatively inexpensive and the mountain of pasta that was built was awesome.
Hope this helps.
