Meat Fundraisers
Ideal for schools and other youth organizations!
WHY WE FUNDRAISE
Our first meat fundraiser took place in 2017 and since then, we’ve helped raise thousands of dollars for local schools, clubs and sports teams. It all comes down to a few things that truly matter to us: community, local food and family. At this time, VG Meats is not offering fundraisers to adult clubs and organizations.
IS THIS JUST FOR SCHOOLS?
No! Our meat fundraisers are available to schools, youth sports teams, dance and gymnastic studios, choirs, extracurricular clubs and other youth-oriented community organizations. We do not offer fundraisers to adult teams or organizations at this time.
HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE THESE FUNDRAISERS?
Typically, they perform well. Parents and other community members often see more value in purchasing high quality local meat than, say, magazine subscriptions or cookie dough. Not that we don’t love cookies.
DOES MY MEAT ARRIVE FRESH OR FROZEN?
Little VGs will be fresh. All other meat will arrive frozen.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I RAISE?
It depends on how much meat your group sells, but the margins are in your favour. If you visit our online store, you’ll see that donation amounts are clearly listed below the price of each product.
