Support My Fundraiser About Our Organization

Merriman Culinary Job Training Program

Help our Trainees to

GET GEARED UP FOR SUCCESS.

 

The Merriman Culinary Job Training Program teaches the fundamentals for entry-level employment within the culinary and food service industry, and it has become a catalyst for social change--helping the communitys unemployed bridge the skills gap, enter the workforce, and achieve economic self-sufficiency.

 

Beyond learning culinary and employment skills, the graduates earn the title of Qualified Food Operator and give back to the community by helping to prepare food for our soup kitchen and shelter.

 

The trainees are simply looking for a brighter future, but most enter the program facing financial hardships and barriers to employment.  They need training to move forward, as well as your support. In order to participate in the program, they must have the proper equipment--non-slip shoes, head gear, chef jackets, books, and culinary knife sets. The cost of these items is over $300.

 

For those without income, these essential training items are not within their reach, but with your support, you could help the trainees to Get Geared Up for Success.

 

Please donate below to the Culinary Training Program/Gear Up for Success Campaign and help get the word out to friends, colleagues, or on Facebook.  Share this Campaign and include this link whenever you post.  Every contribution helps, and helping others to achieve a better future is worth backing.

 

Thank you for your support.

How to support a fundraiser or drive

Online fundraisers cannot reach their goals without utilizing social media. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule but it is uncommon to see a successful personal fundraiser who did not share on social media.

 

Share Fundraisers With Your Friends

 

You can help existing fundraisers reach their goals by clicking on the

email or network share buttons that look like the images below. 

When viewing each individal fundraising page, you will find these buttons below the main title and image.

 | 

 

 

Facebook is the biggest social media platform out there and you can make a huge difference in the outcome of a fundraiser by simply clicking the Facebook share button. When you click the button you are presented with a screen where you can explain why you are sharing the link. Type in your reason and encourage others to share the fundraiser on their profile. Facebook generates a preview of the content on that page including the title from the page, a short summary, and a photo so there is nothing more you need to do. Just click share to Facebook and you have helped tremendously.
 


 

You can use the link provided on the fundraiser or event to share to other social networks such as Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and instant messengers like Facebook Messenger and Skype.

There is also an email button where you can easily enter an email address and invite people by email to visit the fundraiser.
