Why Fundraise During the Holiday Season?

Fundraising Ideas For Holidays

Holidays and celebrations offer excellent opportunities to make a difference for your cause. Keep reading to discover creative and effective fundraising ideas and themes to elevate your efforts during these special Canadian occasions:

Sunrise Suprise: Mother's Day 

Mother’s Day is a popular annual holiday celebrating our biggest cheerleaders: moms. Why not offer a fundraiser dedicated to making moms feel extra special on their big day? A ‘Breakfast in Bed’ fundraiser idea is a heartwarming way to gather support, all while making mothers everywhere feel like queens. 

Offer essential items to create the perfect breakfast, including our all-new creamy Hollandaise Sauce Mix for Eggs Benedict. Mom’s Pantry also offers baking mixes to create homemade treats easily. Check out our Scone Mix—no extra eggs or butter needed! 

Spring Treats For Easter 

Easter is a holiday with a rich history, celebrating resilience and fellowship. Often celebrated in Canadian churches, schools, and family gatherings, it’s an essential celebration for many. So why not host an Easter-themed fundraiser? You can offer popular Easter treats like buttery croissants, delectable strudels, and other pastries, perfect for fueling up before that egg hunt!

Canada Day BBQ Fundraiser

For over 150 years, Canadians have celebrated Canada Day. Families nationwide come out annually to celebrate Canada’s unique heritage, values, and achievements. Outdoor summertime events celebrating the holiday, such as barbecues and tailgate parties, are especially popular. 

A Canada Day fundraising idea, such as a barbeque-themed fundraiser, is a fantastic way to garner support. During your fundraiser, feature must-need items for any BBQ, such as chicken wings, meat rubs, and dips. Don’t forget about other crowd-pleasers celebrating Canada’s diversity, like samosas and spring rolls!

Also, what’s Canada Day without Poutine? Take-home poutine ingredients like French fries, gravy, and cheese curds are a delicious addition to any event.
