"Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference." — Kathy Calvin
the challenge
We’re here because we all know the 'traditional' fundraiser model is broken. Most schools are stuck selling cookie dough or products that are high-effort as well as high-cost for volunteers and, frankly, contradict the health messages we teach our students. As a local, female-owned manufacturer, Route 66 Beef Jerky Co. is here to replace that old model with a high-yield 'Financial Engine' built for our community.
Traditional fundraisers often leave schools with a 15-25% margin after hidden fees like shipping and minimum orders. On top of that, parent volunteers have to manage physical inventory, freezer storage, and complex order forms.
THE RESOLUTION
We offer a High-Yield alternative. Because we are the local manufacturer, we cut out the middlemen. We provide: $5 per bag. A higher percentage of every dollar stays with your program. A 100% complete online ordering process with the product going straight to the consumer.
Healthy Fuel: Our jerky is an artisanal, high-protein snack that fits active lifestyles, not another box of sugar.
A 'Low-Effort' Digital System: Students use a custom QR code. Orders are placed online, and we can ship directly to the customer or provide pre-packed kits for easy pickup. No more sorting loose cash or melting chocolate.
