SCRIP Program

SCRIP Program for St.MarySchool

What is SCRIP?

          It is a combination of gift cards and coupons that St.MarySchool purchases at a discount and re-sells at face value. St. Mary earns a percentage from your purchases from major retailers without you spending any more than you normally would!

Why Should I Buy SCRIP?

          The SCRIP program allows the school and parish to generate funds for projects without “fundraising” or seeking donations. During the 2006/07 school year, the SCRIP program generated enough profit to resurface and restripe the church and school parking areas. The project allowed for the addition of several new, clearly marked handicapped parking spots and for re-painting of the children’s “map” playground, as well as games and activities for the children to enjoy throughout the year.

How do I buy SCRIP?

          This is an on-going program. School and parish volunteers are available after mass on the weekends and on scheduled afternoons at the end of the school day to sell the local SCRIP cards and coupons and to take orders for the national program.

Local Program:

Cash and carry selected cards or coupons after mass or from St.MarySchool volunteers at scheduled weekly times. Vendors include Food Lion, Lowe’s Foods, Port City Java, and Mary Kay Cosmetics. The profits that are raised from the SCRIP card sales are in addition to the percentage of sales donated through the grocery stores bonus programs.

National Program:

Place orders after mass may be picked up after mass the following week, or at the parish office on Friday. Orders placed through school on Monday will be sent home on Friday. For a complete selection of national merchants available, visit shopwithscrip.com

There are hundreds of participating national merchants, perfect for holiday gift giving and travel. Some of them include Dillards, Belk, JC Penney, Kohl’s, Exxon, Shell, Pizza Hut, O’Charley’s, Bed, Bath & Beyond, CVS and Walgreen’s. Denominations and % contributions vary with merchant.
