Scrip is a great way to help the parish.
The way it works:
1. You buy Scrip from one of the volunteers. For example a $20 Safeway card
2. You use it at the store as you would a gift card. In our example it would be a card that is worth $20 dollars at Safeway.
IT COSTS YOU ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!!
3. Your parish gets a percentage of the sale, depending on the vendor. In the case of our Safeway example it is 4%
Just think. If you spend $1000.00 dollars a year on groceries, you just gave the parish $40. If 100 people do the same, the parish just received $4000! It's a great way to support your parish.

eScrip is just as free. All you do is link your Safeway card to our parish "St. Martin Parish," and every time you use your card the parish gets 4% of what you spent. It doesn't affect you or cost you anything. How easy is that?
