  13. Can I do a fundraiser with your products at my school, church or other organization?

    Yes. Emergency Supplies fundraisers are a great way to help your community get better prepared for a disaster while earning much needed funds for your school or group. One method is a hassle-free “online fundraiser” where you direct people (via flyer) to buy on our site using a special code. A check for a percentage of the sales is sent to you at the end of the fundraiser period.  A more effective method is to sell a few select items at a well-attended event such as Back to School Night, Book Fairs or Pancake Breakfasts.  You collect your orders directly from the parents and place one order with us.  The entire order is shipped to the school which saves on shipping and you distribute the orders to your families.

  14. Do you have an affiliate program?

    Yes. You will earn 10% of all sales generated through a link on your site to www.moreprepared.com. Please call or email us at [email protected] for more information. Click here for more information.

  15. Do you offer wholesale pricing on your products?

    No, we do not offer wholesale pricing, however, we do have bulk discounts and the lowest prices on customized kits. If you would like us to manufacture your kits with your logo or label for resale (private label), we can help. Please call or email us at [email protected] for more information.
