Eastside Saturday PantryPreviewSturdy Grocery Totes for Saturday Families
1,500 heavy-duty reusable totes so every family can carry a full week of groceries home in one trip.
What this funds
Heavy-duty canvas grocery tote, 14 ozOne-color side print×1,500
Priced as one real production order by Merch.com — decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment all in the goal.
Every Saturday about 150 families walk or bus home from the pantry with a week of groceries. Most of them carry it in thin plastic bags that split at the handles halfway down the block. We have watched cans roll into Garfield Street more times than we can count.
This drive buys 1,500 heavy-duty reusable totes: 14-ounce canvas with reinforced handles, a flat bottom that fits a gallon of milk standing up, and the Eastside pantry sign printed on the side so the bus drivers know who you are.
Each family gets two totes and keeps them. The extra go to the two school pantries we stock on Thursdays.
$6 buys one tote. $12 sets up a family.
Sponsor recognition, set by Eastside Saturday Pantry
Where a sponsor’s brand can go
Eastside Saturday Pantry decides where a sponsor’s brand may appear, and the main design stays theirs. A sponsor picks one of these and nothing else. On a live drive, this is what a company sees before it sponsors.
Eastside Saturday Pantry’s design Sponsor placement
- Small woven label or interior tagA discreet label inside the item, or a small tag on it.
- Small printed recognitionA small printed line or mark away from the main design.
- Larger designated areaA set panel for the sponsor, such as the back or a side panel.
Drawn to show where, not the exact size. Nothing is printed until Eastside Saturday Pantry approves a print proof, and no sponsor branding is ever added without their approval.
How backing works
Every dollar becomes goods
This goal is a real production order, priced before the drive went live — the items above, with decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment in the number. The goal is the order.
Funded means made
When the bar fills, production starts. Eastside Saturday Pantry never has to chase invoices or manage a vendor — the goods just arrive.
Every outcome counts
Land short of the goal and Eastside Saturday Pantry still gets merchandise scaled to what was raised. Sail past it and the extra becomes credit toward what they need next. Nothing raised here goes to waste.
