Fundraising Information<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Our hospital fundraisers are easy to set up and run. Here\u2019s how it works! Choose from either of our two fundraising programs, Advance Sales or Sales Event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Advance Sales<\/h3>\n

Set a fundraising goal and take orders from staff, family, friends, and neighbors. Once we receive your order, your fudge and caramels are made fresh. We need two weeks lead time from the end of your selling period to the time we can have your fudge ready for you. Choose delivery or pick up your order at our facility. With the help of your volunteers, distribute the fudge to your supporters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sales Event<\/h3>\n

Purchase fudge and caramels in advance to sell at your special event. Your supporters can take their product home right away. Sell out in a day? No problem, just order more (we always provide plenty of tasty samples). Doctors, nurses, and staff make great customers and we find that they sometimes buy the most treats![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626221277290{padding-top: 18px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Recent Improvements<\/h3>\n

Hospital fundraising in Minnesota and across the country has seen new challenges over the last several years and that\u2019s why we introduced our online fundraising option in 2020. As hospitals find themselves with heightened safety and security, an in-person fundraiser may not be the right fit for you. Our online fundraising makes it easy for you and your group to reach out to your supporters on their devices and encourage them to support your cause, purchase some delicious homemade treats, all in the comfort of their own home or office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And if you can\u2019t decide between a traditional in-person fundraiser and an online fundraiser, work with us to run both simultaneously! Hospital fundraisers in Minnesota have never been easier and more successful than working with Walnut Grove Mercantile.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][qode_elements_holder background_color=”#f6f6f6″ number_of_columns=”two_columns”][qode_elements_holder_item cover=”yes” advanced_animations=”no” background_image=”1261″ item_padding_600_768=”34%” item_padding_480_600=”35%” item_padding_480=”37%”][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no” background_color=”#f8efdd” item_padding=”10% 12%” item_padding_1024_1280=”19% 23%” item_padding_768_1024=”21%” item_padding_600_768=”20% 23%” item_padding_480_600=”20% 18%” item_padding_480=”20% 12% 24%”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What Other Hospitals Are Saying<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”7px”][vc_column_text el_class=”fundraising_testimonials”]\u201cDue to their quality product, attention to detail, reliable delivery, order accuracy and prompt response to any needs for the sale, MercyONE Auxiliary’s Christmas Fudge Sale has been a successful event since day one. Hospital colleagues as well as the many North Iowans begin asking about the sale in October. This fundraising event has most certainly become a Christmas tradition for everyone who has stopped by the sales table for a sample!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Steve and Kay reflect high standards for professionalism and best practice in all aspects [of] their business. The fudge sale is a smoothly run successful event each time it is held. The auxiliary appreciates the ease of hosting the sale and the level of confidence they can put in the product.\u201d<\/p>\n
