Fill Me In English Language Services hasn't added a story.
It's a little different, but Fill Me In English Language Services (an
Oakland-based, English teaching, tutoring, and proofreading service)
is raising money by offering something you use everyday: toilet paper.
When you buy this bath tissue (produced by Detroit's Pleasant
Paper), you help fund new adventures and life-changing opportunities
for English language learners—from community events, to trips to local
markets (where students interact with native English-speakers), to
scholarships and grants. The more tissue you buy, the more you help
Oakland's residents develop the confidence they need to handle their
business -- in English.
Here's the PERFECT opportunity to set a good example by supportin' the little guy (and gal), thus leavin' your mark on the community. You need toilet paper, so buy it here, then pat yourself on the back for being socially responsible! Order 3-5 cases to help FMI reach our goal. (You don't have to order multiple cases; ordering 1 is fine.)
WHAT YOU GET
--96 rolls of soft, durable, eco-friendly, and septic-safe bath
tissue for only $36 (courtesy of Pleasant Paper

local organization. We suggest Ile Omode or St. Vincent de Paul.
If there's an organization you'd like to support, let me
know, and I'll list it here, to encourage other shoppers to buy
tissue for your preferred organization.
