Chester County Fundraising That Brings Something to the Table

When volunteers are balancing work, school, and family schedules, a fundraiser needs a clear plan. R&K Subs gives Chester County organizers a way to raise money by selling fresh subs and pretzel sandwiches, with food preparation and orders boxed and organized for easier delivery and distribution.

Whether you’re supporting a student program, planning a club project, or reconnecting alumni around a shared cause, start with what you want to accomplish. We’ll help you work out the fundraiser details.

Put Your Next Fundraiser on the Calendar

Local Organizations Have Ordered From R&K

R&K’s order history includes local organizations, like BSA Troop 127 in Chester County and Chester County Intermediate Unit.

Planning a fundraiser for your own organization? Talk with R&K about your expected participation, preferred dates, and delivery location to see how a sale could fit your group.

Give Supporters a Specific Reason to Order

“Help us raise money” gives people a starting point. “Help cover transportation for our next student trip” tells them what their purchase will make possible. “No need to make dinner that night!” gives them a win/win proposition.

R&K fundraisers can support a range of Chester County activities:

  • School fundraisers can help pay for student events, classroom needs, and enrichment programs.
  • Sports team fundraisers can contribute toward registration fees, replacement equipment, and travel.
  • Club fundraisers can support service projects and member activities. Sub sales for alumni organizations also give graduates a practical way to contribute toward scholarships or school projects.
  • Church fundraisers can bring a congregation together around outreach and youth programs.
  • Nonprofit fundraisers can connect each sale to a defined program or community need.
  • Fundraising for individuals can help rally friends and neighbors around a personal cause.
  • Fundraising for kids can involve young participants in working toward an activity or trip, with adults managing the arrangements.

Pick one purpose for your sale and use it consistently in announcements, reminders, and conversations with supporters.

Choose How Your Supporters Will Order

Think about how you already reach your community. Do families respond to forms sent home? Does your club communicate by email? Are alumni connected through a social group?

A traditional sub sale lets sellers collect orders and payments directly. A fully online fundraiser lets supporters order and pay by credit or debit card, with transactions tracked in one place and automatic order submission. For the online option, R&K sends the profit check to your group.

Let the Menu Help You Make the Sale

Supporters can plan lunch for work, dinner after practice, or a meal for pickup day while contributing to your cause.

View our menu for fresh sub and pretzel sandwich selections, along with product and nutritional information. Share that link when you introduce the fundraiser so people can explore their choices.

Before selling begins, use the current product costs and your chosen sale prices to calculate earnings per item. Divide your fundraising target by that amount to estimate the sales needed, allowing for differences between products.

Make Pickup Convenient for Chester County Supporters

A group with members spread between West Chester, Downingtown, Phoenixville, and Kennett Square may need a different pickup plan than one whose families meet at the same school every week.

Choose a location that makes sense for your participants, then confirm the delivery address and scheduling with R&K before advertising pickup. If you’re considering a school or church parking lot, get permission and check for competing activities.

Keep your pickup message simple:

  • Where should supporters go?
  • What time should they arrive?
  • Who should they contact if they can’t make it?

Orders arrive in refrigerated trucks, sorted and boxed by salesperson. Arrange volunteers to distribute the boxes and plan refrigeration for any orders awaiting pickup.
