As The Treasure Box’s partner, your organization will advertise the program to your employees, customers and the local community. You take pre-orders and payments for the boxes and once a month (on a Saturday), the boxes are delivered frozen via a refrigerated truck to a centrally located Delivery Site. Volunteers from your office pick up the boxes from the Delivery Site and distribute the orders to families at your Host Site. Your organization continues to take orders and payments for the following month.
