It is a good idea to participate in a vending outreach program. Business owners show more acceptance when a charity sticker is on the machine. You will achieve a greater degree of credibility and many more quality locations when you help a worthy cause through your vending efforts!
A smart place to start is with your local charities that are involved with your community. The local police or fire stations also are good causes to support. If you don’t have any local charities you can use, take a look at the list of charities below. A typical commitment is one to two dollars a month, per machine. The charities can mail you out their sticker that will be placed on the machine. The sticker says that a portion of the proceeds of the vending machine go to benefit that particular charity. The charity generally takes a flat fee per month per machine.
Working with a charity is appealing to your customers, and it helps support a great cause. Working with a charity is completely up to the individual. I do not receive any compensation from the charity.
