It used to be a very profitable fundraising activity to deliver mulch.  I'm not so sure with today's gas prices.  Try to figure out the cost and see if you make money.  A bunch of teen-agers banded together in my neighborhood to buy bagged mulch from this wholesale company for $1 a bag.  Then they borrowed one of their parent's truck and delivered the mulch around the neighborhood for $2.00 a bag.  It's cheaper than home depot and the neighbors didn't have to worry about vacuuming mulch off their van or car trunks!  Most of the orders were 30-50 bags, so, about 10 families could make you $500 minus the cost of gas.  There's the problem today - gas is not as cheap, so try to see if you can still make good money doing this.
