Parent-Teacher Organizations Sharing Ideas
Candy & Other Food


Raise money for your school by selling CANDY, POPCORN, COOKING KITS, and other foods to family and friends. Selling food products is a very simple type of fundraiser to organize. Parents won't mind buying a product they can actually enjoy. And kids like selling products they love themselves!

Selling food products means basically that you purchase a product from a vendor and then resell it at a higher price. The difference between your cost for the product and the price you sell it for is considered your profit. The competition between vendors is tight and the vendors understand that they need to make their program the best and easiest to implement. Aside from the actual selling, the vendors basically do all of the work for you by providing:
  • Colorful Marketing Material
  • Pre-printed Pre-Order Forms (most are online and ready to be printed)
  • Free Shipping (in most cases)
  • An average profit of 50%
Following are some of our favorite programs:
