Scrip and its Benefits
Scrip is a term for “substitute money”. In our case it’s gift certificates and gift cards that you can use to make purchases at over 100 stores and restaurants, both local and national. You can use scrip to pay for purchases at grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, department stores, gas stations, home improvement stores,video stores, etc. You simply pay the face value for the gift certificates you want. It costs nothing extra!
If you participate, you can designate where 60% of the profits derived from your purchases are to be used annually. Simply fill out an Earnings Designation Form. This form lists the church and school programs you can “spend” your profits on.
There are downloads on the left about scrip.
