General Mills Box Tops for Education

This fund raising program is very similar to the Campbell's Labels for Education program. Simply purchase any General Mills products with the Box Tops for Education label on it, turn it in to your school, and they in turn will send it in for school funding. It's that simple. This is really cool because you can find these box tops on many food items such as cookies and muffin mix, and even on non-food items such as toilet tissue! You can find out more about this fund raiser program by visiting the Box Tops For Education website.

Campbell's Labels for Education

The Campbell's Labels for Education fund raising campaign has been around for many years and provides large amounts of funding to schools throughout the country each year. The process is simple -- simply peel off the labels of your Campbell's soups and turn them into your school. Your school will then send them in to Campbell's to redeem them for school funding. Also, did you know that all Campbell's labels aren't worth the same amount of money? I found that the Campbell's line of Chunky Chilis are actually worth 5 soup labels! Campbell's makes lots of other products that you can turn into your school for funding -- it's not just limited to soups! For more information on the Campbell's Labels for Education fund raising program and many of the Campbell's products that are worth funding for your school, visit the Labels for Education website.
