Development – SCRIP

The SCRIP Program is a gift card purchase program that directly benefits our parish school, Holy Cross Academy. Gift cards can be purchased for over 75 local and national retailers who in turn provide a percentage of the gift card face value back to the school. Our goal is to greatly expand the program so that more parishioners will purchase gift cards for routine weekly expenses like groceries, gas, and restaurants. This year we will be emphasizing the use of the convenient on-line sales program, and focusing on new ways to advertise and promote the program to generate more sales.

Mission: To manage this ongoing fundraiser which supports our parish school.
Time: 30 minutes per week to sell gift cards after weekend Masses at St. Mary and Holy Cross Academy; before Thursday morning Mass at HCA, or during afternoon carpool at HCA.
Talent: A willingness to devote time to this important cause by volunteering to staff the sales table after Mass or at HCA.
Coordinator: Lloyd Keeton, scripcoordinator@holycrossweb.com
