SCRIP
What would you think if you learned that there is a virtually painless way for you to contribute cash to TJMC, without spending a cent you wouldn’t otherwise spend? It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not only possible, it’s happening!
How Does It Work?
1. We purchase gift cards from local grocery stores at a discount
2. We resell them to you at face value
3. The church keeps the difference - between 5-10% of the value of each card
Who Are the Participating Stores?
New! With our new online program, the number and variety of stores has greatly expanded; you can use scrip at places like Lowe’s, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Sam’s, Barnes & Noble, Belk, Amazon.com, Best Buy, Panera Bread, and Starbucks.
