Often grocery stores will contribute free food and beverages. Call a local Supermarket and explain that it is for a non-profit fundraiser and they may have something to contribute.

Hey Jewel. Here are a few ideas: Walmart stores Doctor offices Grocery stores Banks etc.. Basically, any "for profit " business is an opportunity waiting to happen. Also, you can ask different high traffic strip mall owners if you can set up shop for your non-profit cause. Raffle tickets are a GREAT way to raise money! Hope this helps and good luck!

I know wal-mart will,but you have to get a form online or pick one up and turn it in 2-3 weeks before fundraiser... Just get on the phone,ask for managers and ask them directly...hi this is john smith,I'm calling in regards to our fundraiser we are holding here in smithville.It's similar to a bike a thon and it's non profitable and tax-deductible. It's better to meet them and shake their hands,hand them a flyer with all the info on it...and they will either get you to call back another day,or tell you who to call. Be persistant.Don't be embarassed to ask.You the consumer support their business.And lots contribute to the community.Local grocery stores are good.mom and pop stores.Even local churches sometimes do.Try walgreens,then CVS,tell them walgreens did.Lawyers,Doctors,teachers,mayors,business men. Please spell it FUNDRAISER,not funraiser
