What is SCRIP?
It stands for Supermarket Certificates Rebate Incentive Program.
But what is it??
These are certificates that we purchase in bulk at a discounted rate (5%). We resell them, at face value, therefore making a small profit.
If 100 families were to buy $ 100.00 every week, our 5% profit in ONE year would be $26,000.00!!!! That's only 20 families per mass. Will your family be one of them? Once you become familiar with the program, you will see how simple and easy it is to help support your parish.
The Food Scrip Program: Every weekend, after every mass, we sell certificates for Shop Rite, A& P, Pathmark, Food Basics, Kings, Food Town, Market Basket, Corrados, Fairway, Stop and Shop and Goffle Road Poultry Farm. The certificates are available in different denominations and you may purchase as much as you like. The nice thing about the program is that it is dollar-for-dollar. In other words, if you write a check for $ 40.00, you will receive $ 40.00 in food certificates, for the store of your choice. These certificates are then used in that food store like cash. Volunteers can be found in the vestibule selling these certificates (again, every weekend, after every mass.)
The Retail Scrip Program: This program is run a little differently. The certificates are not readily available. You can place an order for Retail, once a month (usually the second Sunday of the month) and they will be ready for you the following weekend. During the Christmas season, we accept orders every weekend. A complete listing of stores is always available at the Scrip table or you can view the list at www.glscrip.com.
