If you are with a religious group, school group, C.E.R.T. Team, volunteer fire dept., ambulance corp. or any other group looking for a great fundraiser idea you should consider selling survival kits, blackout kits and other emergency preparedness items in your community.
Emergencies and disasters can happen anywhere. They can affect every person in every neighborhood. For many years the government has preached the message: Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Be Ready. This is a way to take that message directly to the members of your community while raising money for your group or cause.
Here are just a few reasons why these items make for a great fundraiser:
*Everyone is a potential buyer of the kits. They are needed in every home, office and car
*By selling/promoting these items you will be making the members of your community better prepared
*You will be helping to raise the level of preparedness in your community
*The more people who are better prepared with the right survival gear and information…the easier it will be on our rescue personnel.
*You can raise great money for your cause
*They are very simple to promote and sell
Your group can promote/sell this preparedness kits through a variety of ways: door to door, flyers in your community, email marketing to people you know, organizing a preparedness event in your town.
Most items I purchase from a group doing a fundraiser I don’t really need. I buy the items to support the cause. These items can be bought to help support the cause and be very important to the people who buy them.
