Lord, how the spam rolled in.

You might want to look around for organizations that need help.
In high school, National Honor Society chapter stuffed envelopes for local Democratic candidates and he paid us a $200 gratuity for doing it. He got cheap labor and we got some money. (It was a long, long time ago so $200 was more like $600. Not bad for around 4 hours of work for a handful of volunteers.)
My NHS chapter also worked the ticket booths for the municipal 4th of July carnival. We were paid for doing that. I don't remember how much.
My sorority chapter worked banquets for our school when community events were being held on campus. We waited tables and the food service paid the chapter for our time.
I ran a 5k for my kid's school last year. It's a lot of work but we made $2000. You need around 6-12 volunteers for a small 5k. We made about $10 per entrant, after we bought tshirts and refreshments and supplies. We used a local state park, so there were no rental fees for portapotties and we didn't have to close streets or hire security for the event. We paid $50 for renting a shelter, and bought race shirts for the entrants, and bought refreshments for after the race. We also had to pay for advertising and awards for the age group winners and signs to mark our race course. The event brought in a lot of money from outside our school community.
