Why Team Fundraising Needs Higher Standards
When it comes to the “Fill Your Freezer” fundraisers here in Calgary, it’s true that other Team Fundraising was first to market with an online platform raising money for teams before we came along. During this time we were sales reps for a large food distribution company and had owned restaurants prior to that. There were a few things we noticed that just weren’t up to the standards that we are used to, namely, food safety. It was appalling to us that food was just being dropped off in a parking lot sitting in unsafe temperatures waiting to be picked up.
Sure money is being raised and big flashy cheques are being presented but we shouldn’t ignore the real dangers that exist when food safety is being ignored.
Being involved in the food business for a combined 30 years, we’ve seen first hand how food bourne illnesses have impacted families. We’ve seen children as young as two that will have to be hooked up to a dialysis machine for the rest of their life because the restaurant they ate at didn’t follow strict food safety guidelines.
Our policy at the food distribution company we worked at was to never leave food unattended, our drivers would need to make sure someone at the restaurant was there to receive the order. We saw a need in the market to take food fundraising to the next level by implementing these standards. What’s even more is that we have connections to the best vendors, we get the best pricing and that gives us an advantage to ensure that you’re getting the best price, the most commissions and the best quality while delivering in a food safe truck, more on that later.
