St. John Francis Regis Scrip Program: Fundraise While You Shop!
What Is Scrip? Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase Scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use Scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for St. Regis.
How Scrip Generates Revenue for St. Regis
The Great Lakes Scrip Company acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non‑profit organizations to purchase large amounts of Scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the Scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. We buy the Scrip from Great Lakes Scrip at a discount, and re-sell the certificates to families like yours for full face value.
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with Scrip.
Start Shopping! 3 Ways to buy:
- Buy Scrip cards after Mass at the Scrip table or from the school office during normal school hours.
- Fill out a Scrip order form and turn it in to the parish office or school office.
- Go to www.shopwithScrip.com, shop and even buy online.
Orders completed by 5:00PM on Tuesdays can be picked up from the school office by Friday.
