I just witnessed a combination frozen food and gift catalog delivery and it was amazing.

Here are a few quick tips!

1) Have a 3 minute meeting at least twice during the process so all volunteers know what is the plan and what is going on.

2) Make sure to take the time to properly setup your area - open boxes, organize completely by flavor, alphabetize your student catalog orders. Having a clean organized space will certainly simplify the delivery process.

3) Combine the frozen food and catalog orders before delivery if possible.

4) Make sure to control the traffic in the room. Use a table to block the entrance and exit so that folks have to provide their name on entry and checkout on exit. This really is the key to a fast delivery process.

5) Have one experienced volunteer there to respond to trouble orders and special requests. If there is a missing item, it's best to have this one person pull them aside as opposed to holding up the entire line.

Ok, some fast and quick tips on a smooth cookie dough and catalog fundraising delivery.
