St. James Scrip…No Cash? No Checkbook? No Problem!
What is Scrip?
The dictionary describes it as “in lieu of cash”…basically, it is a gift card.
Why should I buy Scrip from St. James?
We purchase the cards at a discounted price so when you purchase them at face value St. James earns money.
Are they just “Gift “ Cards?
The cards can be used all the time: grocery shopping, eating out, buying clothes, a night at the movies, filling up your gas tank, airfare, hotels, remodeling your home, new appliances, a day at the spa, prescriptions, electronics and much more. Stop by the Scrip table after church for a full list of retailers.
Scrip at St. James is a key on-going fund raiser that adds to our weekly collection. For every gift card or certificate purchased, St. James receives a percentage of the sale, ranging from 2-15%. This means that you can add to the revenue that it takes to run St. James, simply by doing the things you do anyways….such as buying groceries and other items, eating out, or buying gifts.
St. James is now able to process scrip with electronic funds. This means that you do not need cash on hand, or your checkbook when you buy scrip after Mass.
How it works…
- Fill out a one-time authorization form that the Parish Office will keep on file
- Return it to the scrip table
- Drop it off at the Parish Office
- Each time you purchase scrip, complete a simple voucher form indicating name, date, amount, and signature
- Your bank account (either checking or savings) will be drafted during the week for the amount.
Download authorization form here.
With the return of grocery cards (Tops) to the program, we look to have the scrip program be one of the largest fundraisers for 2011.
