Choosing a Distributor
A reputable fundraising distributor is crucial to a successful fundraising event.
Once your organization has decided to sell HERSHEY'S candy, you will need to discuss your fundraising goals with a fundraising distributor that distributes HERSHEY'S products and will ultimately supply your group with the product to sell.

When choosing a distributor, it's helpful to have them answer the following questions:
- How long has the company been in the fundraising business?
- What value-added services, such as tallying, student packing, etc. does the company offer?
- How much do these services cost, and who pays for it?
- How will the company's program meet the financial needs and fundraising goals of your group?
- What percentage of profit will your group receive?
- Does the company deliver in the evenings and/or on weekends?
- Does the company offer 24-hour reorders?
- How responsive will the company be should problems arise?
- When does the group pay the company?
