Nourishing Growth: Why Daycares Embrace Food Fundraisers

When your daycare needs contributions to obtain the resources it needs, finding a fundraising idea you can commit to can be stressful. For over 40 years, Mom's Pantry has helped Canadian organizations like yours reach their goals.

That's why we say the best fundraising idea for daycares is selling frozen and dried baked goods. A long shelf life and ready-to-bake convenience are just two reasons fundraisers through Mom's Pantry are successful. We've helped thousands of groups raise millions of dollars, and you can be part of that! Here are our top reasons why daycares thrive with food fundraisers.

Promote Healthy Eating for Your Kids

Daycare staff are often more than just child-minders to the children. Over time, bonds are made, and trust is developed. Parents are most likely counting on you to provide healthy meals and snacks throughout the day, regardless of what meals look like at home. Running a health-focused food fundraiser can assist daycares in encouraging healthier eating habits at home, too!

With ready-to-go foods like dried fruits, pierogies, and muffin batter, your fundraiser can raise funds for the daycare while helping parents kickstart (or continue) happy, healthy meals at home. Our fundraising foods includes healthy options like hemp seeds, chia seeds, raisins, and more. We also stock a range of spices and baking products, where individuals can stock up while giving money to caring facilities like yours.

Earn Up to 40% Commission

Mom's Pantry offers commission rates from 20% to 40%. Some of our items will get you higher returns, and what you focus on selling can impact the outcome of your efforts. How much you make will be completely dependent on your sales. Plus, you can earn an extra 1% commission by hosting an online-only fundraiser—we call this our Greener Initiatives program.

Make Donating Convenient and Enjoyable

Added products like frozen chicken strips, popcorn and popcorn seasoning, and poutinerie accentuate the draw of the classic bake sale. This ensures there's a little something for everyone to savour at your next daycare fundraiser, making it not just a charitable event but a delightful experience for all attendees. Fundraisers that give contributors something they deem valuable usually bring in the highest return: people like receiving extra value while also donating to good initiatives. Whether attendees are drawn in by the idea of freshly baked cookies or the novelty of supporting their local daycare, Mom's Pantry can help you raise the money you need.
