I purchase some of my groceries every month from an organization called SHARE. (It started in San Francisco and is all over the US or Angel Ministries is another organization that is similar) It is a food buying club (no membership fees) that buys first quality groceries and sells them to members passing on the savings.
SHARE works because of its extensive volunteer system. Here in Wisconsin the warehouse is down in the Milwaukee area and it serves all of WI, Northern IL, Michigan's UP, and Northern Minnesota. We order and pick up groceries once a month. It will not replace the local grocery store, but it helps. Here is the link to the Wisconsin organization, they have links to other organizations so you can find one close to you http://www.sharewi.org (click on the "locations" tab and you will see "SHARE locations in other states")
I have talked to my site coordinator and we want to do a FUNdraiser in September to raise money to help buy Thanksgiving Dinner packages for families in need. (A lot of the families that initally start coming to SHARE are on various forms of federal aid.)
Does someone have a fundraiser flyer that I can adapt to our needs? We would like to hand it out the month before I set up my display so everyone knows it's coming up. I can find many fundraiser explanations, which I have but no flyers.
