Q: Do the vending boxes have a security feature?
A: Yes. Each box has a concealed trap-door that's easy to access if you know how, but hard to figure out otherwise. You can also use cable ties or tape for added security.
Q: How much do the pens cost?

Q: How much time does it take to run a route?
A: Servicing 20 locations typically takes about 3 hours. You can do this all in one day or spread it out. Managing over 200 locations can turn this into a full-time income.
Q: Which charity will I represent?
A: You can choose from many reputable charities. There are 2 very reputable that we currently work with. We’ll provide their info, contact details, and registration forms. Once registered, you’ll receive charity stickers and official ID cards to place on your boxes.
We can also help you customize a program for your own fundraiser or charity.
Q: How do I get locations to place my boxes?
A: We can provide a list of pre-approved locations based on your preferred zip code. Our telemarketers will secure permission from businesses in a 1 to 15-mile radius. You’ll receive the name, address, contact person, and store hours for each spot.
Rejected locations are replaced free within 30 days.
Q: Can I find locations myself?
A: Absolutely. Many small businesses are happy to support a good cause. Our compact boxes (about the size of a shoe box) are easy to place. With our 15+ years of experience, we’ll share proven techniques to help you land great locations on your own.
Q: What do I do with the money I collect?
A: All money collected is yours to keep, except for donations to charity (if you choose to represent one). Most charities ask for about $1.00 per month per box, or around 5% of your monthly revenue.
Q: Are boxes ever stolen?
A: Theft is extremely rare, less than 1% within a 6-month period. Most store owners monitor them closely, especially when they see that proceeds help a charity. Each box includes a printed theft warning for added protection.
If needed, replacement boxes are available for as low as $8.00 each.
Q: Why do businesses allow these boxes?
A: Many stores like to show they support charitable causes. The boxes are small, tidy, and fit well on counters alongside newspapers or flyers. We’ll help you find the best charity to represent and offer placement suggestions.
Q: How do I customize my order?
A: Provide us with 1 or 2 zip codes where you plan to operate. This lets us secure an exclusive area for you and allows our team to arrange pre-approved locations in that area. We’ll follow up to ensure everything meets your expectations.
