eScrip Contributions
eScrip is a proven fundraising resource where participating merchants contribute a percentage of your grocery club cards and credit/debit card purchases to the school, group or organization of your choice. Many merchant sponsors will donate 2 to 8 percent of your purchases to the Early Care and Education Parent Advisory Board fund. Your participation costs you nothing but means valuable funds for our center.
How it Works
- You register any one or all of your existing grocery club, debit and credit cards.
- Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group, based on purchases you make using your registered cards.
- Your purchases are tracked and available to you online so you can see how much you are earning on your child's behalf.
