Young Life Mulch Sale 2017 Information

Here’s what I love about this fundraiser: no one is going to spend $200+ on mulch who doesn’t want mulch. Unlike a candy sale or saver card sale you don’t need to feel like you are convincing people to buy something they might not really want. If someone wants mulch (many people do!) they’ll get a GREAT price while helping you afford camp at the same time. Plus the returns on your efforts are unbeatable! It really is a win-win.

So…How Much Money Will I Make?

1. You will earn $15 per yard of mulch you sell (that’s a minimum of $60 per sale)

2. You will earn at least $10 per hour you work to install mulch.

Last year people made and average of $200 selling mulch (some made much more), and about $70/Saturday spreading mulch. It’s really simple...here’s what you need to do:

How do I sell mulch?

Askfriends parents,neighbors, teachers, your parents’ coworkers... anyone that lives in the Tri-Cities area. You can go door to door, make calls, ask in person, post on social media, or just send emails. When people want to order, tell them to go to our mulch website ( and enter their info.
