Who we are...

Yabba Dabba News is a fun approach to supporting your local service, church, school, and non-profit group. 10% of all purchases is donated to the local group you select.

We distribute a free printed version of the Yabba Dabba News to Local businesses and restaurants every other week. It is our way of introducing people to our shopping site. The content of the Yabba Dabba news paper is focused on the unusual, but always family friendly. Included in the content are tidbits about the local groups that are participating with the program.

On this web site, local groups have an easy way to post information about their group, including pictures and video. We hope you enjoy learning about all of the great groups of volunteers that make our community strong! Vote for your favorite group by making a purchase online. For more details, please visit the FAQ page.

What do you the shopper get out of this?

By shopping on the site for items and certificates from local retailers that you already visit or even the retailers you have never patronized before, you choose which group will receive 10% of your purchase. We require that the businesses do not inflate the prices for this service and there is absolutely no out of pocket expense for the buyer except for your purchase.

What does the local retailer get out of this?

New and increased business from local customers and supporters! Most retailers are excited to have your business and support their local community as well.

Yabba Dabba News is also an extra sales vehicle for them that provides a sense of pride by helping their own community. Finally, the 10% of each purchase that is donated, is tax deductible for the business.

What does the local group get out of this?

A source of funding! Yabba Dabba News will submit a check to them on a quarterly basis for their portion of sales attributed to them. With all of the disasters and turmoil in the USA, local non profits have suffered.

Contributions that were made locally in the past are being donated to national non profits to help those in need. That is fantastic, but some in our own backyard have been forgotten. We also hope to ease the burden on parents and tax payers alike for our schools extracurricular programs like football, baseball, soccer, band etc.

To attract supporters, the local groups receive an easy to use FREE web page with video, text, pictures and their own calendar. The calendar is a feature that enables you to view all the activities of local groups in your community on one calendar.

"It's truly a win win for everyone!"
