* How does the Gift Points system work?
   The Cookin' Up Funds programs award gift points to our students for their hard work. Gift Points are based on the following conversion: 1 Complete Door-To-Door order form = 2 points, 1 complete Through the Mail order form = 1 point, 1 complete On the Web order form = 2 points. Students can select any item or any combination of items from our gift list.

* How does this web site benefit the On the Web program participants?
   Customers can log in with the school WebID and choose the right group and student name you would like to support and place the order. You can choose to have the product shipped directly to your address, for an additional shipping fee of 10% of your order cost. You can send your payment to the student when you receive your order.

* How is the complete order shipped?
   Each customer order will be individually wrapped and a collection envelope enclosed with the products listed, price and the total amount to be collected. The entire shipment for all students will be shipped by UPS to the school and then distributed to each student, who in turn delivers the merchandise to the customer and collects the amount desinated on the collection envelope. No work...No hassle...each student knows exactly how much to collect from the customer. The money is turned into the school and 50% stays with your school. Orders shipped to the school are prepaid; however, the customer can select to have the merchandise shipped direct to their home for an additional 10 percent in freight charges.
