More about Amy Passmore

Have you ever been a customer of Schwan's Home Service? If not, you may have seen their yellow trucks making deliveries of frozen food to homes in your neighborhood. Schwan's has been in the business of delivering frozen food for over 50 years. Busy families appreciate the convenience of Schwan's easy-to-prepare meals.

Now, Schwan's has a fundraising program for nonprofit organizations, schools and charities.

Your organization can raise money by taking orders for Schawn's frozen foods. Then, unlike some food fundraisers, Schawn's will deliver your customer's orders to their door. So your organization does not have to receive and distribute the products. If you have ever had to distribute a truckload of cookie dough you know how much time and effort is involved.

You can start your fundraiser by filling out a form and faxing it to Schwan's. You will then be contacted by a Schwan's representative. Your organization will be sent the catalogs and the sales aids necessary to conduct your fundraiser with direct selling. Your organization can also sell Schwan's products online through the Schwan's website. You will be assigned an ID number and anyone throughout the United States can order products online, with your ID number, resulting in your organization earning money.

The percentage of sales that your nonprofit organization will receive is 30%. Schwan's also offers a free incentive prize program to help motivate your sellers. If your nonprofit organization's members have a large number of families that would be interested in purchasing frozen food, a Schwan's fundraiser could be a great success.
