Lehigh County Fundraising With a Menu People Can Get Behind

Your group has plans. Your supporters have appetites. An R&K Subs fundraiser brings the two together, helping you raise money through fresh sub and pretzel sandwich sales.

We serve fundraising groups in Lehigh County, PA, with traditional and fully online ordering options. Whether you’re funding student activities, supporting a community program, or helping a team cover expenses, R&K handles food preparation and boxes orders by salesperson for easier distribution.

Make Your Next Fundraiser a Sandwich Sale

Local Schools, Churches, and Clubs Trust R&K

R&K’s order history includes several Lehigh County organizations, including:

  • Christ’s Church of Lowhill
  • Northwestern Lehigh Middle School
  • Kiwanis Club of Allentown Northeast

From a congregation in Lowhill to students in New Tripoli and service club members in Allentown, these groups show the range of local organizations that have ordered from R&K.

Start With the Goal Your Supporters Care About

A fundraiser is easier to explain when people know what their purchase supports. Tell them whether you’re raising money for new instruments, tournament fees, classroom materials, or a specific service project.

Find resources for your group:

  • Schools: Support academic programs, student events, and extracurricular opportunities.
  • Sports teams: Help pay for equipment, uniforms, and travel.
  • Churches: Fund outreach, youth activities, and congregation projects.
  • Clubs: Raise money for member activities and community work. Sub sales for alumni organizations can also support scholarships and school initiatives.
  • Nonprofits: Invite supporters to contribute toward a defined program or need.
  • Individuals: Bring friends and family together around a personal cause.
  • Kids: Help young participants work toward an activity or trip, with adults coordinating the sale.

Give every seller the same short explanation of your goal, along with the ordering deadline and pickup details.

Give Supporters Choices for Lunch or Dinner

Fresh subs and pretzel sandwiches make your fundraiser part of a meal that supporters can plan ahead for. Someone might order lunch for the workday, sandwiches for the family, or dinner after an evening practice.

View our menu to explore the selections and review product and nutritional information. Share the menu when announcing your sale so supporters can choose before placing their orders.

Set your selling prices using R&K’s current product costs. Then calculate the earnings per item to estimate how many sales will help you reach your target.

Pick an Ordering Method That Fits Your Group

Traditional sales let participants collect orders and payments directly from supporters. Your coordinator gathers the completed forms and submits the group’s order to R&K.

Fully online fundraising lets supporters place orders and pay by credit or debit card. Transactions are tracked in one system, orders are submitted automatically, and R&K sends the profit check to your group.

Plan Pickup Around Where People Already Gather

A fundraiser in Allentown, Emmaus, Whitehall, Macungie, Coplay, or Slatington needs a pickup location that works for its participants. A familiar school, church, or meeting place can make directions easier to share, provided you have permission to use it.

Before announcing delivery day:

  • Confirm your address, available dates, and delivery minimum with R&K.
  • Check whether other events will affect parking or access.
  • Assign volunteers to receive the delivery and distribute orders.
  • Tell sellers how and when to collect their boxes.
  • Arrange refrigeration for sandwiches awaiting pickup.

R&K delivers in refrigerated trucks, with orders sorted and boxed by salesperson. Your volunteers can hand out those boxes rather than divide a bulk shipment into separate sellers’ orders.

Questions to Ask Before Launching Your Sale

Can a small Lehigh County group arrange delivery?

Contact R&K with your proposed location and expected order size. Delivery minimums vary based on the distance from its Palmyra kitchen, so confirm the requirements before taking orders.

How much time should we allow for a traditional fundraiser?

Plan for about two to three weeks of selling, followed by the required lead time before delivery. R&K needs the completed order at least seven days before your delivery date. An earlier deadline for your sellers gives your coordinator time to check submissions.

Can we offer both subs and pretzel sandwiches?

Yes. Offering both gives supporters more choices. R&K recommends using the separate sub and pretzel sandwich forms because they include more selections than the combined one-page form.
