Working our way into school

I spoke with KS in PCRM today regarding ecoVegan's products, and how possibly we can serve to schools so the kids can have the meat-free option, which is better for them and the society anyway!  I almost feel this cannot be disclosed, but since I was able to search and found it, the USDA's National School Lunch Program reimburse $2.37 for the school that provide lunches to its students.  That means, $2.37 a lunch meal for a child, including overhead; in reality, sometimes it could really come down to $1 per lunch meal, and I don't even want to think how the breakdown will be between all the content in that meal.  Trust me, there is no such thing called "free lunch." This is a rather hard task for us at this stage because we are not that financially competent yet to be competitive with the big name company, aside from the details we have to go through in order to sell to school.  

There are lots of resources and information that we need to be aware; for one, we need to register for Central Contract's program under Federal, which then enable us to be searchable under SBA and then can apply to become vendor for the major distributors that service the school districts.  It is, in short, a very complicated system.  And before that, a D-U-N-S number must also be available too. 


Even with this much details needed to be worked out, I think it is still a necessary task.  Wish us luck!!

While I am at it

I want to thank God first for the opportunity to start ecoVegan; I have been much blessed to have this exceptional opportunity to work on something I truly believe, while learning new things everyday, and meet with some very wonderful people that just made me appreciate life, and all lives, even more.  Words can never truly express my deep feelings of gratitude, so that's why I know I have written less and less and just do more.  Action speaks louder than words, and I hope that someday, one day, soon, that everyone all come to the same understanding of we are just simply love, and all beings do share this common space together; and when everyone becomes vegan, it will be heaven on earth again.  Let's pray.
