Farm to People Fundraiser

We’ve partnered with Farm To People to fundraise for PPAS!

April 21st – July 1st

Get started now! Sign up Here

USE & SHARE CODE: FARMTOPPAS

Here’s how it works:

Every time you shop on Farm To People’s website from now until
July 1, 2024, 5 percent goes back to the PPAS PTA.

Make that a subscription to one of their weekly, bi-weekly or monthly farm boxes and that number becomes 10%.

FAQ

Q: How do I join? 

A: To join our fundraiser, simply create an account on Farm to People, add whatever you want to your basket, and enter code: FARMTOPPAS upon checkout


Q: Do I need to enter the code every time I shop? 

A: Nope! Once you’ve used the code during the fundraising time period, you’re all set. Farm to People will automatically give back 5% or 10% accordingly on all subsequent orders until the end of the period.


Q: Do I have to subscribe? 

A: No, but for every 10 customers that subscribe to any item during the fundraiser, Farm to People will add a $250 bonus to our fundraising check. However, you can always shop any of the items à la carte, no subscription required.


Q: Who can join the fundraiser? 

A: Anybody who wants to support the fundraiser can join — friends, family and neighbors. Just spread the word and don’t forget to share our code!
