SCRIP
What is SCRIP?
SCRIP is a term that stands for “substitute money.” When you purchase SCRIP, you are essentially purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards to use just like cash. SCRIP can be used to purchase everyday items such as food, clothing, and other essentials. With every purchase, you will earn revenue for St. John’s Parish. Because these gift cards are purchased in bulk, retailers offer these cards at a substantial discount and Great Lakes SCRIP Center passes on that savings to us. The amount varies by retailer, and ranges from 2% to as much as 20% of the face value of your gift card!
How does SCRIP generates revenue?
The Great Lakes SCRIP Center acts on behalf of the parish to purchase large amounts of SCRIP from grocery and department stores, restaurants and other retailers. Because the SCRIP is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. We purchase the SCRIP from the Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount and re-sell the SCRIP to parishioners for full face value.
What retailers participate?
A list of the participating stores and restaurants is located in the back of Church or by contacting the Parish Office.
How do I purchase SCRIP?
You can pick up a list of participating retailers from the entrances of the Church or the Parish Office. Orders can be placed in the collection basket, mailed or brought to the Parish Office. Please make checks payable to St. John the Evangelist Church and mark your envelope SCRIP Fundraiser.
