School & Daycare Fundraising Ideas for 2025

Your daycare is an essential service for working parents who need childcare, and our fundraising team at Mom’s Pantry is here to help ensure you stay afloat! There are plenty of fun ways to include our catalogue in a themed fundraiser to get your donors (and their kids) invested in the cause!

Here are a few daycare fundraising ideas from your friends at Mom’s Pantry!

Frozen Food Fest

If there’s one thing young parents need, it’s to have their household chores cut in half. What better way to save time than with high-quality frozen foods? Pre-made crusts, breads, and desserts make dinner time much more convenient and are a huge selling point for parents of toddlers and young children. 

At Mom’s Pantry, our frozen fare is Canadian-made with high-quality, wholesome ingredients. It’s not only convenient but also a healthier option than many other frozen foods you find in stores! 

You can include these items in your frozen food fundraiser:

  • Savoury Croissants (Bacon & Egg, Spinach & Ricotta, or Ham & Swiss)
  • Pierogies (Potato & Cheddar or Potato, Cheddar, & Bacon)
  • Vegetable Samosas
  • Veggie or Chicken Spring Rolls
  • Panzerotti Pizza Snacks
  • Dough Balls

Shelf Stable Sale

Give parents an opportunity to stock up their own pantries by focusing your fundraiser on products that are shelf stable. They’ll contribute to your daycare’s operations and save a trip to the local wholesaler!

Best yet, your donors can easily restock once they run out of their items. All of our non-perishable products are available for individual purchase!

Here are a few shelf-stable items available in our catalogue:

  • Dip Mixes 
  • Spice Blends & Seasonings
  • Rubs & Marinades
  • Popcorn Seasonings
  • Gourmet Sea Salts
  • Dried Grains, Beans, & Legumes
  • Bigelow Assorted Tea (Black & Herbal)
  • Baking Supplies (Starch, Soda, Baking Mixes, etc)

Pizza Party

Nothing says “We’re doing this for the kids,” like a pizza party! Mom’s Pizza Party Pack is full of great products that kids and parents alike will enjoy. Some of our offerings include:

  • Pepperoni Pizza Planks
  • Cheese Pizza Party Pack
  • Garlic Breadsticks
  • Mom’s Own Pizza Crusts
  • Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts (perfect for families with food sensitivities!)


For the frozen crusts, try including a list of pizza recipes with every purchase to help parents with their pizza night grocery list!  

Cookie Monster Sale

Cookies are a tried-and-true fundraising product, and it’s easy to see why! Your donors can give their kids a delicious treat while funding the work their daycare provides, and because it’s frozen dough, families can bake them together!

We have a delicious selection of cookie dough, including:

  • Chocolate Chunk
  • White Chocolate Macadamia Nut
  • Rainbow Chocolate (M&Ms) 
  • Double Chocolate Chunk
  • Cranberry White Chocolate
  • Honey Oatmeal Raisin
  • Chocolate, Sea Salt, & Caramel
