About Our Food Fundraisers:

1. How do we know your meats are good quality?  Fundraiser Foods uses well-established food vendors whose products are processed under the strictest guidelines. All products are graded for quality based on the appropriate federal standards for each type of meat product. Thousands of people are satisfied, repeat customers of our products.
2. Why is there a minimum order amount?  So that you can make the most money possible on your fundraiser, we must keep shipping costs as low as possible. Shipping full pallets of a product is the way to do that.
3. May I combine products to make my minimum order?  Yes, it is possible to combine products in some cases. Our sales team will help you identify products that may be combined to meet your minimum. 
4. How long will our meats stay cool once we unload?  Most of our meats are frozen and will remain so for hours after delivery. (Hams and smoked turkeys are fully cooked and arrive fresh and cold, not frozen.) Common sense tells you to keep them in a cool location out of the sun. Keep the boxes sealed and together.
5. How much money can we make on our fundraiser?  With special event fundraising, the most important factors are knowing your customer base and the average retail prices in your community. Given that, if you sell 250 hams at $5 - $10 over your cost, you will make from $1250 - $2500. If you participate in our year-round food fundraiser, you should expect to charge less for your product but maintain a steady flow of funds to your organization.
6. How many volunteers do we need to run our year-round food fundraiser?  You will need 4-6 people to take orders every month and 4-6 people to unload and distribute the food. One person will be your web administrator, and you should have another person to organize your publicity. We encourage you to make Delivery Day such a warm and spirit-filled fun day for volunteers and customers that everyone will want to help.
7. Why do we have to pay for samples?  Shipping perishable products overnight is very expensive, usually $50-$100 per package depending on location. Paying for shipping samples shows us that you are as serious as we are about your fundraiser. We also believe our tried-and-true quality and repeat customer business speaks for itself; and, therefore, you will find samples are really not necessary.
8. When do we pay for our order? You should mail your payment the same day you place your final order with us. You should arrange for your payment to be received by us within 3 days of your mailing. NO money is required from you before you complete your selling efforts.
9. When will we receive our order?  In general, you will receive your order within 2 weeks of our receiving your payment. We will work with you to select a date of delivery that suits your needs as well as our shipping schedules. We do not ship product until we have received your payment.
10. What is the policy for damaged or missing products?  Health and safety regulations do not allow us to accept any returned food products. Because we all want to feel secure about your orders, we deal only with vendors with a tract record of dependability, quality, and trust. However, we realize that humans make errors. Therefore, Fundraiser Foods and our vendors will do whatever is feasible to resolve any problems that may arise. When you receive your order, you are asked to inspect it immediately. If any of your order is missing or damaged, we will gladly resolve the issues with you ASAP.
