Santa's Shop / Holiday Shop is the orginal in-school holiday store. The Sobieski family began offering the program in 1976. With 35 years experience, we can provide the best selection of merchandise and unparalled service available.
The program is designed to allow students to purchase holiday gifts for family members and friends in the comfortable and safe atmosphere of their own school. The program is usually held during one of the three school weeks between Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. Most schools run the program for one week, making sure each student is given an opportunity to Shop.
Because Fund Resources provides the gifts on consignment and all of the supplies for free, the program is easy for your group to run. All you have to do is arrange for a sales area and to schedule volunteers to help in the shop. Schools have the choice of making either 10%, 15% or 25% profit. The amount of profit depends on which retail pricing structure your group chooses. In the past, most schools considered the program a primary fund-raiser, however, now many schools have other means of raising larger amounts of money, so they choose to hold the Santa's Shop program as a service project, making either 10% or 15% profit.
