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!!

Customer Service
If you ask, what do we care about at ecoVegan, Customer Service will definitely be one of the top ranked value we have.
I was reading this article my uncle forwarded to me, and in the article it indicated we don't work to work, we work to be a better being, by gaining knowledge and wisdom, by treating people fair & right, by learning to be patient, by learning moral values that is true in both personal and professional life, by speaking truth, by knowing that the world is not centered around us, all these and more. I think, these are what I learned from dealing with different type of customers; but i think more than that, is the love I feel towards them, and the tasks I handle at those times.
We want our customers, or doesn't even have to be our customers, to be happy, simply happy. I think it all ties back to doing something good for the society, regardless the results; when we do it from the love of our hearts, it will show and the outcome will be positive! And I pray that heaven works its miracle so all beings will be happy soon!
