Care Package Fundraiser

Student care packages fundraising is especially popular during the first week of classes or during major exam periods. Packages could include candy, chips, hot chocolate, cookies, mug, fruit, magazine, stuffed animal, joke item, etc. that would be appropriate for male or female students at colleges or other schools where the student lives away from home. Parents are always looking for ideas on things to send their kids when they are away from home. Send order forms to the parents who can order the packages as a surprise gift.

Make the fundraising care packages yourself or work with a commercial company that specializes in care packages and gift baskets. You will make the most money preparing the packages yourself but it will take more work. Commercial companies (just search for ‘care packages’ on the Internet) offer a wide variety of options – look for their affiliate option. Since you will be paid in advance, you have no risk and can budget your expenses.
