Snack Bar or Pantry

People pay a lot of money for the convenience of vending machines. Vendors can easily charge $1.25 or more for a soda that only costs $0.50 when purchased at a warehouse club. That $1.00 candy bar can be purchased for about $0.25 in bulk. Why should you give all that profit to a vending company just to have them bring in a series of large, loud machines that are an energy wasting eyesore? This fundraiser is an on-going fundraiser. This works best in smaller offices and offices where employee trust is not an issue. Pick a place in your office to designate as the pantry or snack-bar. If you have a lunch room, put a cabinet and refrigerator in there. Stock the pantry with multiple types of soda, bottled water, and sports drinks. Put in candy bars, chips, and pretzels. Just about any type of snack food you can get for $0.50 or less is ideal. You can also get frozen or shelf-stable instant lunches. Shopping at wholesale locations and warehouse clubs will offer the best deal. Create a price-list with comparable prices to local vending, add an honor system pot for collecting money and you are all set. Keep the pantry stocked and solicit suggestions for different varieties and the money will start flowing.
