St. Mary’s is joining thousands of other organizations in ShopWithScrip, a fundraising program that rewards organizations with rebates from participating retailers. You, the parishioners, shop like you normally would, and St. Mary’s wins!
It’s easy! Through ShopWithScrip, parishioners purchase gift cards to retailers they normally patronize. There are hundreds of retailers who participate, including most of those in our own community! St. Mary’s receives a rebate on each gift card purchase, and you use the gift card to shop like you normally do – in person or online. How much the parish gets back depends on the retailer, but usually it’s between 2-10%, with some retailers offering up to 20%. That may not seem like much, but with many people making purchases, those small rebates add up!
Although ShopWithScrip makes it possible to order physical gift cards distributed to you by the parish, St. Mary’s can currently only support the online purchase and distribution of gift cards. Check it out HERE to learn more, and please consider giving it a try!
