?When the Inter-Residence Association (IRA) and FeelGood began their partnership, participants from both sides did not expect it to become so successful.The partners also didn?t expect that the national directors would want to replicate their model across the country.The partnership is mutually beneficial: IRA pays for a portion of the cost of making grilled cheese sandwiches so that students can buy them at a discounted price. In return, FeelGood promotes future IRA events, Blanchard said. ?IRA?s work with FeelGood has inspired us to share the partnership with other residential hall associations across our 23 chapters,? National Program Director Corin Blanchard said. ?With a $300 investment from IRA we are able to sell $2 grilled cheese sandwiches [instead of $4]. That day we were able to fundraise $1,500.?FeelGood runs non-profit delis specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches across college campuses with 100 percent of proceeds invested in organizations trying to eradicate global hunger, according to its website. The idea of subsidizing sandwiches in return for event advertising began when Director of Social Program of IRA, Eric Davis reached out to FeelGood, said President of FeelGood Chris Joy.?This partnership was a pleasant surprise,? Joy said. ?We hit the ground running, and three events later they have helped us raise an extra $3,000.?One of IRA?s goals this year was to have more cooperation between clubs and organizations at the University, Davis said.?This event met that goal well because FeelGood is very popular on campus and it keeps money within the University,? Davis said.With three events so far, IRA has launched FeelGood five percent closer to its annual sales goal, Joy said.?[Our] goal for fundraising this year is $28,600,? Joy said. ?So far we have raised over $20,000.?Sophomore Natalie Bond said she appreciates being able to help end hunger while enjoying a delicious sandwich.?Their cheese is so delicious and I love being able to do my small part,? Bond said. Even though sophomore Megan Howley has never had a FeelGood sandwich, she still appreciates the work that they are doing.?It?s admirable that FeelGood is making such great strides with just a simple American grilled cheese,? Howley said.Blanchard said that she is excited to share IRA and FeelGood?s success and hopes that others will be able to replicate it.?IRA and FeelGood have a shared mission,? Blanchard said. ?We invite students to use their resources efficiently but also to be informed about differences in the world.?IRA and FeelGood plan to cooperate in aspects other than fundraising, Joy said.?Hopefully we can work together on educational events that will strengthen the UVM community as a whole,? Joy said.According to its website, FeelGood as a movement has raised over one million dollars since 2005.?You can eat a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. You can help end world hunger. You can attend an IRA event,? said Davis. ?What?s not to love??
