Organizing a Fire Restoration Party: Advice Needed

[daricsmom]

I live in a small community and there is a family here that lost their house and everything in it, and I was thinking about doing a fire restoration party for them. How do I go about this? Do I submit it as a regular show or a fundraiser? Any advice would be great. I would love to talk to someone who has done one of these in the past. Thanks

If they're replacing their kitchen tools, I'd do it as a show, so they can use the host benefits to get free tools. They'll also be able to use any insurance money to pay for items using host bonus, etc.

I agree with Ann...I think they would end up getting more products using the host benefits.

Do they have insurance which will pay to replace their stuff? If they do...you can enter it all as a show (for the things that they already had, and need replaced) and then they can use the "extra" earned free value to add other products to their kitchen.

I am doing a party for a family that had a house fire also. I have attached the invitation that I used. The Host of the show helped with the postage. We sent out 55 invitations. The family does not want any donations, so the host is giving her all of the host benefits.

Hi there,First of all, I want to commend you for wanting to help out a family in need in your community. Your kindness and generosity are truly admirable. As a Pampered Chef consultant, there are a few ways you can go about organizing a fire restoration party for this family.One option is to submit it as a regular show and donate a portion of your commission to the family. This way, you can still provide them with the full benefits of a Pampered Chef party while also raising funds for them.Another option is to submit it as a fundraiser. You can set a specific fundraising goal and invite community members to attend and support the cause. You can also reach out to local businesses and ask if they would be willing to donate items for a raffle or auction to raise additional funds.I highly recommend reaching out to your Pampered Chef upline or other consultants who have organized similar events in the past. They can provide you with valuable advice and tips on how to make your fire restoration party a success.Thank you for considering such a meaningful and impactful way to use your business for good. I wish you all the best in organizing this event.Sincerely,
