Social Media Proves Effective!

Store To Door (www.storetodoor.org) has been using social media, like this blog, for about 6 months. Unsure of what results we would get from any of the multiple sites we use (Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, and Flickr), we had low expectations that any would really produce new volunteers and especially not clients (our clients are typically 82 year old white women). BUT, weren't we surprised when a person contacted us to sign up for our grocery delivery services who heard about us on FACEBOOK! Wonderful news! Social media, after about 6 months of use is truly proving to be worth the effort of using!

1048 coupons clipped by 13 Target employees!

Led by Lea and Angela, 13 Target employees clipped 1048 coupons for Store To Door this September. This Target group in particular has been clipping coupons every quarter since July 2009.

Volunteers clip manufacturer coupons for Store To Door so we can match them to current customer orders and redeem them through Cub Foods. The money we receive back from the coupons is put towards our general operations.

This ongoing fundraiser could not happen with out the help of volunteers like the group from Target!
