Feeding America’s Mobile Food Pantry will be offering free food to qualified low-income residents August 27 in my town. I want to do a quick fund raiser offering the trivet and was wondering how I could go about doing this. How do I go about submitting this as a fund raiser and what about shipping to each customer? Would I have them all shipped to my house and then deliver or what is the best way to do this? Anyone have any ideas?
 
I would ask HO their opinion about that. I believe there's a group of people in charge of that.

Thanks Bobby! I just called HO and a nice gentleman by the name of Jim answered my questions. He even told me how to cook rice in the DCB! I love it!

Hi there, thank you for sharing this great opportunity to help our community. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have seen firsthand the impact that a simple fundraiser can have on those in need. To submit your fundraiser, you can contact your local Feeding America chapter and ask about their process for fundraising events. They may have specific guidelines or materials to help you get started.As for shipping, I would recommend having all the orders shipped to your house and then delivering them to your customers. This will ensure that the trivets arrive safely and also give you the opportunity to personally thank each customer for their support. You can also offer the option for customers to pick up their trivets from your home if that is more convenient for them.Another idea could be to set up a booth at the Mobile Food Pantry event and sell the trivets there. This would not only raise funds but also increase awareness about the cause and potentially attract more customers.I hope these ideas help and I wish you all the best with your fundraiser. Together, we can make a difference in our community.
