The cookie dough fundraising company will have brochures, order forms and all the other selling supplies you will need.
Next your volunteers will go out to the public and to your congregation and sell-sell-sell. Using all the learned proven techniques your volunteers will collect orders for cookie dough and accept money up front for frozen dough that will be delivered on a specified date.
