Fun Services Holiday Shop Expands School Programs to Florida

The Florida operation focuses on streamlining the logistics that often burden PTA and PTO volunteers. By maintaining a local seasonal inventory, the company aims to eliminate common headaches like stock shortages and delayed shipments. Fran Lombardi, drawing on her former tenure as a retail buyer for Fortunoff, oversees the selection process, prioritizing items that allow children to practice independent budgeting while choosing gifts for family and teachers.

Beyond product sourcing, the Lombardis emphasize a hands-on approach to school management. The program is designed to guide volunteers through the planning phase, execution, and post-event inventory. For schools looking to host these events, the service provides a structured framework intended to keep the shopping process simple for administrators while keeping the experience engaging for children.
