Ideas to Make Your Fundraiser Eco-Friendly in Canada 2024
Fundraisers play a vital role in supporting various causes and organizations, providing essential funds for projects, events, and initiatives. As we become increasingly aware of our environmental impact, it's crucial to consider the ecological footprint of these fundraising efforts. Mom's Pantry can help you to have an eco-friendly fundraiser, no matter where you are in Canada. For ideas on making your fundraiser green, keep reading.
Host Food Fundraisers
Where some Canadian fundraisers might seek attention from potential supporters by advertising easily breakable toys or specific t-shirts that will not get worn, Mom's Pantry is different. We provide groups with a method of fundraising where people can get food items they would need regardless and donate money to a cause they believe in at the same time.
Food fundraisers with frozen food or dried foods, can reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Out of our more than 200 items, almost all of our foods do not have a quick expiry date. Unlike a bake sale, where freshly baked food can go bad quickly, many of our items are ready-to-bake foods that can be frozen if they do not intend to use them right away. A large selection of our products have a long shelf life as well! Pantry items like spices, popcorn, and dried goods will last a long time if stored correctly.
Make it Online-Only (Go Paperless!)
Fundraisers that use paper pamphlets and physical promotional materials are not the most environmentally sustainable choice. If your group has already fundraised with Mom's Pantry more than once, you might be familiar with our exclusive online bonus commission program. Our Greener Initiatives program aims to make a positive impact on the planet step by step while also rewarding you for joining us on this journey.
By participating in this program, your group will benefit from an additional 1% commission on your total sales. Opting for a paperless approach not only supports environmental conservation but also makes it easier to achieve your fundraising goals.
Reach Your Target Goals For Reduced Shipping Emissions
Mom's Pantry offers convenient options for receiving your orders based on your location. For residents of Winnipeg, Manitoba, we organize group pick-ups to streamline the process. If your group is participating from other parts of Canada, we provide delivery services to ensure your orders reach you efficiently.
Recognizing the challenges of shipping perishable items across vast distances, especially to remote corners of the country, we also offer a specialized shipping option for dried goods and spreads only. This helps minimize the risk of products spoiling en route and ensures they arrive in optimal condition at their destination. We encourage you and your fundraising team to focus on increasing your orders, as this contributes to reducing overall emissions per order. Our goal is to support your success, and greater participation enhances the likelihood that your deliveries will cover shipping costs.
