What is scrip?
Scrip is any gift certificate from a retailer, grocer,
or restaurant that is purchased by a nonprofit
institution at a discounted rate. The nonprofit
then sells the gift certificates at a regular price,
as a fundraising activity.
Currently Sacred Heart of Jesus purchases gift
certificates from King Soopers and Safeway at a
5% discount. These gift certificates are sold at
full price to raise money for Sacred Heart of Jesus
School. Rather than paying for groceries
with cash or credit card, you just use the gift
cards instead.
So far this fundraiser has paid for things such as
8th grade graduation activities and a new freezer
in the school cafeteria. Now we are raising funds
to purchase a new boiler in the school and additional
classroom supplies.
We are looking for volunteers to sell grocery
scrip in $25 and $100 denominations after Sunday
Masses to provide parishioners with an easy
way to support this effort. If anyone is interested,
please call Robin at (303) 442-6158, ext. 108.
Grocery scrip (gift cards) from King Soopers and Safeway are available for purchase at the school office from 7:45
am to 2:45 pm on days when school is in session. Scrip may also be
purchased at the front desk of the parish center from 9 am to noon
and from 1 to 5 pm Monday through Friday. School programming receives
5% of all proceeds!
Liquor Mart gift certificates are also available for purchase at
the school office and at the parish center front desk. School
programming receives 10% of all proceeds.
Earth Friendly Coffee certificates are available for purchase at the school office and at the parish center front desk. School programming receives 40% of all proceeds! You can purchase coffice with house blend, dark roast or decaf any of which can be whole bean or ground.
New this year is a Starbucks card in $10 and $25 amounts with a 7% return, and they guarantee a 2 week turn around. The Starbucks cards can be purchases at the school office or at the front desk of the parish center.
Another great way to contribute to Sacred Heart of Jesus is through eScrip. The eScrip program is a fundraising program that allows participating merchants to contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to our parish. You register your existing cards and the participating merchants will make contributions to Sacred Heart of Jesus based on your purchases. Find out more about eScrip by checking out these links:
