Do you have any ideas for a fundraiser?

I have three unemployed friends who want to have a fundraiser before the holidays. They are in their late forties and I am the oldest. Two were laid off from their jobs and are getting unemployment, one is living on her savings, and I am getting a monthly pension check from my old job. One of us suggested having a Christmas bazaar but not everyone thought that it would be a good idea because not everyone had a lot of things to sell. Another one came with the idea of a wine and cheese tasting and charging $25.00 per person. I didn't think that the location was good for that type of social activity; it's in a office basement. Now we are in limbo because no one has been able to bring any fresh ideas. I had suggested that we go sell all the clutter from our houses at an indoor flea market. The idea was welcome but they want to do the fundraiser raiser first. I am leaving the decision to them since they are the ones who will soon be without an income but I still would like to know if anyone has any ideas and if those ideas have worked for them.
