Scrip Program
We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for Mt. Zion Lutheran. It’s called “scrip”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop.
Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others. There are about 300 retailers that participate!
You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It’s simple -
- The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
- You get a powerful fundraising alternative that works while you shop
- Our church gets a source of revenue that we’ll use to raise money for the 2016 National Youth Gathering and outside mission projects
The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money without spending additional money. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program. Scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and dining out.
Please talk to Paul Moehring, Nicole Hosking, or Bud Lengfelder if you have any questions.
