Cash4Kids fundraisers: Adults took the jobs kids once had. That’s not fair. How else can you get the skills you’ll need if you’re not allowed to try anything? Now we’re asking parents to think of work that needs doing, make a list, and purposely create work for kids to do. We have a full Climate Kids careers, jobs and fundraisers package. Fruit Tree Fundraisers (see below). Veseys Seeds Fundraisers. Each tied to creating summer work. Details on the Trenton News website http://web.ncf.ca/en369.
Earn money defending your future. Create work. Save money. Save the planet.
One thing is obvious. We need trees. We’ve not even planted enough for furniture. And we need food. Oh, that’s two things. Add bees, for honey and to pollinate crops. And flowers for bees. OK, that’s a few things, but related as a sustainable ecosystem of food, work, trees, flowers. They’re all things we need to attend to, so you have a future. And you need cash to do all this. This kind of work solves several problems at once. Your life, for example, is a package deal and you tend to several things every day to make it work. No big deal. We can do this. We can turn things around. We just have to deal with a few crazy adults off in some fantasy land of infinite exponential growth. Which only means they want no limit as to what they can take from you. But back to the main topic. This is about parents defending the lives of their kids.
We also have a fundraising book for you. Earn money defending your future. Your parents describe the problems of life in Canada. We compiled all that into a book. You sell the book for $20 book and get $10. Next, readers vote on every issue and send it in to a politician who by law must respond to the will of the people. You get a say in your future. Print copies are ready in Trenton. To find the book on Amazon, search "A Future For Our Kids."
Right now, you have no say about anything. That’s not fair. It’s your future. So we went to great lengths to declare the rights you’ll need for a fair and sustainable future. Join our UC Youth section of the Union of Canadians. You deserve a say.
We also put together a company you can join. The Company of Canadians, your company of family and friends. Here, you can buy bulk, start projects, use the company car and tools, buy land. To take action in the marketplace. Join as a club, grow into a business.
This spring, earn money in Inner City Orchards, Green Teams, backyard Food & Flower Gardens and its extension, Farm Assist. Use your Trenton News to get the word out. Write, print, distribute make the news, have a say. A route of 50 subscribers nets you $50 a week, $200 a month and in 10 months you can buy land with other kids. For an Invent Camp, which lets you work with others, make things and get your idea built and to market. Again, many problems solved at once. We’re fighting for your future! You fight too.

For now, the main contact person is David Teertstra, but this is about family and friends working together. You can be your own group leader. A general description of how that could work is in Clubs Intro 1 with more detail in Clubs Intro 2.
Here's an example Fruit Trees Fundraiser: This year, we offer Red Delicious, Ida Red, Macintosh, Granny Smith, Gala, Cortland, Northern Spy and Yellow Transparent.
We have forms and sign-up sheets for kids. Or you can request trees at [email protected]. All proceeds to Climate Kids programs.
One for $40, two for $36 each, three or more for $32 each, specials for 10 or more. Mix & Match. Prices less than retail. Pick up or delivery. Fruit pole pickers. Tree guards. Apples are headed to $2 a pound. Save money, save your life. All are two-year-olds grafted on dwarf rootstock. Some produce the first year. In a few years, you may have more apples than you can deal with.
Eat well and save the planet. Go local, go organic. Trees and bees. This is part of a Climate Kids program. Fundraising and cash for kids.
Not everyone wants the work of a tree, so we made this part of a permanent pool of work for youth, YouthWorks Trenton. Selling, planting, trimming, tree care, harvesting, saucing, storing, juicing, drying, pie making. Do you have a tree you don’t harvest? We can help, for a cut of the crop.
How it works. We get the great price when buying 50 at a time. We’re kids. We don’t have the cash and we don’t have the storage space. We do have pledge sheets. When we have enough for an order, we collect, go buy the trees, then deliver.
It helps if you have a hole dug and ready. We could do it for a tip, but ask in advance because that’s a lot of trees on delivery day. This is bare root stock that has to get in the ground (pre-dug, about 2’ down, good soil packed around), then watered weekly all summer until the roots catch. You can plant spring to fall.
For apple trees, you can mix and match any type. Bartlett pears are a separate order. We need 50 pear tree orders first, so it may take longer to collect orders. We can get you almost any other kind of tree you can think of pine, oak, ash, maple, almost any kind you can think of, we can get you those $10 each or less - maybe $5, maybe free. We don’t even have enough trees planted for furniture!
If you have a big country yard or farm, this is part of our Farm Assist program to set up mini-businesses that diversify your income.
