Our church's preschool has a little "shopping spree" where the children can purchase inexpensive gifts. I was considering donating some mini measuring cups, mini whippers, and maybe some prep bowls filled with candy and wrapped with bows. Would I be violating any PC policies?
 
I don't see why you would be. It's kinda like donating an item to a silent auction or raffle.
 
Just as long as they aren't charging more than the catalog price for the products I don't think that would be a problem.
 
Maybe you can get other consultants in your cluster to also donate something.
Good luck.
 
My local elementary school has a secret santa workshop, I may donate some stuff too. Do you plan on putting your contact info on the donated pieces?
 
I would think once you donate them, they can do whatever they want with them. YOU aren't selling them. Also, with cash n carry, people do charge more than in the catalog to cover tax and shipping so I don't think that's a concern. I would just let them know the value of them.I would definitely put your info on them. Maybe each piece could have a recipe card with your info on it. It may get lost, but if it's thrown in a bag, a parent might find it :).
