Scrip Order Form

How the Food Certificate Program Works:

• You give us a check made out to St. Joseph C.P. for any amount you wish to purchase
• We give you food certificates for the store of your choice in the same amount
• Participating stores accept the certificates as cash.
• You spend the certificates exactly like money (dollar for dollar)
• St. Joseph earns 2 1/2% on food certificate purchases and you earn 2 1/2% of your total purchases
• You can receive your rebate in one of three ways:

1. Receive your rebate in food certificates to your favorite store
2. As tuition credit (automatically credited to your tuition twice a year (November and March)
3. You can donate your rebate to the Capital Campaign (You will receive a 5% credit on your total certificate purchase.)  This rebate will be reflected on your year-end contribution statement, which you receive at the end of each year.

 Another great program that we have is the Scrip Program – It is similar to the Food Certificate Program, but works like this:

• First, pick up a Scrip form in the Rectory (sold at the same time as food certificates) or click here for form.
• Check out all the retail stores (Sears, Penneys, Toys R Us, etc.), Restaurants (Hennessys, Olive Garden, Outback, etc), Fast food (Wendy’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc.) and even gas and phone cards are available for purchase through this program
• Make your choice of the certificates or debit cards you wish to purchase
• Give us a check made out to St. Joseph Scrip for the total amount
• We give you certificates and/or debit cards in the same amount (Spend these dollar for dollar just like cash)
• You also earn rebates on the Scrip Program – The percentages earned from your purchases of Scrip differ from store to store.  Please check the list of stores available and their individual rebate percentage.  Rebates from the Scrip Program are return in the same way as Food Certificate Rebates.  Click here to see rebate percentages.
• Scrip purchases are non-refundable, so be sure to buy exactly what you will need.

 This is a simple method to support your church on your everyday basic needs.  All of us as individuals and families purchase food and other items at various stores every day.  We hope that more of you will join with those who already purchase certificates and scrip.  Every time you make purchases through these programs the parish receives income that will help address the financial needs of our church and parish community.  There is no added cost on your part in using food certificates or scrip. The benefit of your participation is that you, on a regular basis, will be contributing to your parish and also working towards a rebate for yourself.
