Each year one school invites parents to lunch. The first year I noticed that our meals dropped significantly on these days as parents brought in outside food. I asked the principal if we could turn the event into a fundraiser. I charge the school a portion of the ticket so the school can profit on the difference. It’s more meals for foodservice and $500 for the school's activity fund.
