Church Scrip

Lisa Hudy Ext. 210
 
  • Scrip is "no-selling" fundraising to raise money for St. Michael the Archangel Church.
  • Grocery stores such as Kroger, Meijer, Busch’s, Larry’s, Westborn, and Joe's Produce give the church a percentage back from your purchase. 
  • Other stores/businesses sell gift cards to St. Michael Church at a discounted price. When you purchase the gift cards at face value, the church realizes the difference as profit.

 

You will not spend any extra money by using scrip! You earn money for the church through your regular weekly spending on groceries, gas, eating out, etc. 

 

How to Order

  1. Sign up for a grocery card or a grocery reward program and a certain percentage of your purchases go to St. Michael Church.
  2. Buy gift cards through the rectory office or on the RaiseRight website.  A percentage of the purchase price goes to St. Michael Church.  
  3. Contributions could be tax deductible for you.
