Holiday Gift Wrapping Fundraiser
Posted by Sandra Sims on 20 Dec 2006 in: General
Holiday gift wrapping can bring in money for schools and non profit organizations. A gift wrapping fundraiser is done by volunteers who wrap holiday packages and gifts for patrons.
Many stores set space aside during the entire holiday season and then sign up school groups and other non profits to work just one day. Other groups like The American Business Women of America hold their own booth at a mall or other store for several weeks and up to the entire holiday season.
Though the wrapping is inexpensive, usually $1 to $6, some shoppers will leave extra knowing the money is going for a good cause.
“We had a man who had gotten a gift for his wife of 50 years,” Parker says. “He was getting her the pearls she had always wanted. He said, ‘Can you wrap this?’ He was so sweet. We told him we’d give it our best shot. When we got through wrapping, he left us $12.”

DeSoto Square mall in Bradenton, FL is activly seeking an organization do so the gift wrapping this holiday season. Typically the rental fee this time of the year is around $2,000.00 per month. We are offiering it for $500.00 for the entire season!! Of course the organization is responsible for supplying all the material/supplies to do so but it will be well worth it.
Should any organization be interested, please contact the management team @ 941.747.5860.

I support this project. This is beneficial for the schools and specially the students who wanted to learn more and to work hand in hand with everybody.
