M.E.P. would like to thank all of our loyal customers for your continued support and partnership throughout the Fall 2019 and upcoming Spring 2020 semesters. We sincerely appreciate all of your past efforts and believe you will be very impressed and excited to be a part of our new lineup for Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 as well.

As the economic climate dictates, we have witnessed a substantial progression from hard goods sales to food sales over the past few seasons. Given the State of the Union, we feel that trend will continue this Fall. However, we believe a more positive outlook is on the horizon, and we are fully positioned to continue our growth pattern into the next decade.

We THANK YOU again, in advance, for allowing us the opportunity to work with your school!

Fundraising used to be a piece of cake: Sell a catalogue with a couple hundred items, offer a little prize brochure and everybody's happy. Now we have to take that line a bit more literally. We may not be selling simply "cake," but we are finding that food does sell better in a tough economy. People simply see better values in edibles than in hard goods. And, in tough times, people still eat!

This transition has been in the works for a few years now. Food sales are gradually overtaking the hard goods sales, and the numbers that are being generated are nothing short of phenomenal! Record sales are occurring on a regular basis (See Statz) with cookie dough & frozen foods.
