This morning I have a phone call with Initial Outfitters! I absolutely love this company!!! We are doing such great things in this. Being able to work for myself and at the same time be able to sell a product that benefits a WONDERFUL ministry! Check out our new press release!!!
Order Up! 18,720 Charlie’s Lunches… now being served!
18,720 FREE Lunches… now being served at a Charlie’s Lunchroom not so near you!
With 100% of the profits from the sale of 5689 embroidered Charlie’s Lunchboxes sold by Initial Outfitters home party consultants are sponsoring hot lunches for needy children across Latin America! Over 360 children are fed several times a week through this program. How is that possible? Because of a ministry inspired by the loss of a child.
Charlie Stewart was 12 years old when his heart failed him. But the legacy of giving that he left inspired his mom, Janey, to give children who came to her door in Guatemala begging for bread “what would have been Charlie’s Lunch.” The Stewarts were missionaries in Guatemala, planting a church, when they realized that God had a different plan for them. The Charlie’s Lunch ministry was born, and today there are over 30 lunchrooms across Latin America, India, and Africa!
Through a partnership with Charlie’s Lunch, founded in 1997 by Sam and Janey Stewart, Initial Outfitters, a direct sales company specializing in personalized jewelry and gifts, has sponsored 6 Charlie’s Lunchrooms across Latin America since January, 2008. “When we first partnered with Charlie’s Lunch and created the Charlie’s Lunchbox concept, we believed that we would be able to sponsor one lunchroom in a year’s time by donating 100% of our profits to the ministry” says Alicia Storbeck, president and founder of Initial Outfitters. “We were blown away by the response by our consultants and their customers, and 3 months into the partnership had already raised enough funds to open a new lunchroom and support it for a year!” Initial Outfitters consultants did it again, and again, and on January 16-17, 2009, four new lunchrooms were inaugurated in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The company also sponsored a lunchroom in San Pedro Sula, Honduras since January 2008, and upon returning from the inaugurations in Mexico was able to give the good news that funds had been raised to adopt a lunchroom in Guatemala.
Across the 6 lunchrooms, approximately 18,720 hot, well balanced, nutritious lunches will be served in 2009 to children who might otherwise receive a small helping of beans and coffee, or nothing at all. In addition to their meal, children receive training in basic hygiene, manners, and structure, and participate in a bible study/activity time that feeds their souls and builds their self esteem.
“The Charlie’s Lunch program is an answer to prayer for us” says Jacinto Bahena, area director of Charlie’s Lunch in Cuernavaca. “We have been working in some of these communities for years, and in the past year have seen 2 new children come to our church. Now that Charlie’s Lunch has come, we have immediately seen 120+ children anxious to participate as an example in just one of the four areas! We know that these children, their families, and the community as a whole will be blessed through this program!”
All Charlie’s Lunchrooms are operated by volunteers, and are run through a local church. “This is so that people understand that the blessings that they are receiving come from God,” says Sam Stewart, founder of Charlie’s Lunch ministries. The church provides the facility and the volunteers, and Charlie’s Lunch provides the kitchen equipment, food, and the basics necessary for a meal – plates, utensils, glasses, etc. Children come to the church to receive their meal, do a little bible study and activities, and simply be loved! That is really what they are hungriest for.
“We are thrilled with the excitement that we have seen here at Initial Outfitters for this program!” says Alicia Storbeck. “Our consultants and their customers love the idea that they can do something to help other people, and knowing that it is little children that we are feeding through the sale of the lunchboxes makes it that much sweeter. We can see that there is really a purpose to our business, and that makes going to work easy!”
One of the new lunchrooms was sponsored in full by a single Initial Outfitters team of direct sellers. Amy Padgett of Virginia Beach, VA challenged her team to sell 1137 lunchboxes – enough to sponsor a new lunchroom for a year. In about 8 months time, her team of about 100 ladies met the goal! As a result, 60 children in the Las Flores area of Cuernavaca will be eating hot lunches 3 days a week and being loved by their team pastors and volunteers!
“It is amazing to know that we can make a difference in these little lives,” says Amy Padgett. “Now I know why I joined Initial Outfitters – so that God could use me and my business to bless these children! My business has a purpose now!”
Initial Outfitters goal for 2009 is to raise funds for these 6 lunchrooms for 2010, adopt at least one more lunchroom in Guatemala, and open one more completely new lunchroom in another city in Mexico. It will take 8415 lunchboxes and cookbooks to reach this goal, but these ladies believe that they can do it!
Initial Outfitters is a new direct sales company based in Auburn, AL. Launched in the fall of 2007, Initial Outfitters specializes in personalized jewelry and gifts, and has independent consultants building their own businesses by conducting home parties in 25 states.
