What is scrip, anyway?

When you purchase scrip, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by many of the national and local where you already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organization, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, St. Rita and you earn revenue.

How do I order scrip?

Fill out the Family Order Form and either send with your child to school or submit to the rectory.

Where do the scrip certificates come from?

Great Lakes Scrip Center purchases the certificates directly from the retails. These certificates and cards are the same gift certificates you would buy if you went to the participating retailer and purchased them yourself.

Can I use the scrip certificates anywhere?

Yes, the certificates are accepted at all participating retailer locations.

Does it cost families anything to participate? Do they have to sell anything?

There are no membership fees, application fees, or sales requirements. Families simply pay St. Rita the face value for the certificates they order. The beauty of the scrip concept lies in the fact that families raise money for St. Rita by using their existing household shopping budget. Some families may enlist relatives, friends, and neighbors to buy scrip. But unlike other fundraising programs, scrip families do not have to 'sell' anything to raise money.

Can I use script to pay department store charge account balances?

A few retailers allow you to pay charge account balances with scrip, but generally speaking, most do not.
