Successful Fundraising Ideas for Small Towns

A school in the small town of Dauphin, MB, works with us year after year and often raises tens of thousands in a single fundraiser. This remarkable success is due to their commitment to rallying the whole town to get involved. They band together as a team to reach their target each year, further supporting their kids' education.

Getting the town involved is essential to their continued success. If you're in a small town and in need of funds for your school or sports team, the biggest element that will impact your total fundraising is the involvement of your community. While you can get orders online from people in other provinces, it's important to connect with the relatives, friends, and community members around you to whom the fundraiser will impact.

Fundraising Ideas You Can Use

The way you fundraise can greatly impact your success. Here are a few ways you can market your fundraiser with Mom's Pantry:

  • The Stock Up Event: If you are located in a small town, your area may greatly benefit from a fundraiser through Mom's Pantry. With the right amount of participation, we can ship your Manitoban fundraiser anything from our list of goods on our website. This means that your rural community can get access to perhaps harder-to-find products like Indian spices, gourmet salts, superfoods, and more.
  • School Year Freezer Filler: The frozen goods we can provide for you and your town to fill your freezer can be the difference between throwing together a quick meal and ordering unhealthy takeout. Focus on the convenience of supporting your school and making your weekday meals easier in one.
  • Baked Goods Sale: Mom's Pantry gives you the chance to grab ready-to-go croissants, cinnamon rolls, cookie dough, muffin batter, and even pie shells. It's as simple as preheating and throwing them in! These products let busy parents take a break from making lunches day in and day out. Plus, the money they put into the bake sale goes to a good cause!

There are plenty of angles you can take with your fundraiser. The most important part is engaging the people around you and winning their support!

FAQs

Do you ship frozen items nationally?

Yes! We use temperature-controlled trucks to transport frozen product nationwide to fundraising groups. For customers wanting their products direct shipped to their homes, this is limited to dry goods and spread products only.

Can I store the garlic spread in the freezer?

Yes! Many of our items can be put in the freezer to make it last longer. Spreads, bakery items, pie shells, dough—these can all be frozen! Keep in mind that the garlic spread is margarine-based, so it can last a long time in the pantry as well.

I threw out the box. Where can I find the cooking instructions?

We make sure to list the cooking instructions for each item on its product page. Simply find your item in our inventory online, and the page will tell you how to prepare it.

Do you have gluten-free items?

Yes! Our teas, scalloped potatoes, soup bases, and more are available gluten-free. Look for the description "gluten-free" in the item's name or browse these gluten-free items.
