To help you make the best decision on a charity to partner with on your venture, we've compiled a list of those charities that have vending programs. They charge a very small monthly fee that helps those in need and their name recognition gives you needed credibility!

Local Hunger 800-883-7905
www.localhunger.org
The original vendor outreach program has been in
operation for more than 13 years, and has
focused on helping the cause of fighting local
hunger in more than 30 states where funds are
generated through the vendor outreach program.
The benefits to the vendor are twofold. First, the vendor is
helping fight local hunger in his/her state.
Secondly, the vendor is able to place his/her
machines in retail locations by sharing the
charity's service message with the retailers.
Teen Challenge
- Teen Challenge is the oldest, largest and most
successful program of its kind in the world.
Established in 1958 by David Wilkerson, Teen
Challenge has grown to more than 150 centers in
the United States and 250 centers world-wide.
Many of our centers offer a one-year residential
program for adults designed to help men and
women learn how to live drug-free lives. During
their 1-year stay, they do not hold down outside
jobs, as all of their attention is focused on
the program. We challenge the residents to
embrace the Christian faith. We see that when
they do, their lives are transformed and they
find true meaning and purpose.
