How does it work?
- SCRIP participating retailers sell gift cards to the Beaver Dam Family Center at a discount;
- You buy the cards for full face value and redeem them at full face value;
- The Family Center keeps the difference as revenue (which counts as your fundraising credit).
Consider a typical household expenditure of $100/week on groceries from Piggly Wiggly and an additional $20/week for gas from Kwik Trip. This same expenditure if purchased during the 20 week period from mid-October through mid-March as a weekly SCRIP order would net you $140 in fundraising credit. Through the SCRIP program, you still spend the same $100/week on groceries and $20/week on gas that you would normally spend, but you also meet a significant portion of your fundraising requirement -- all without spending any additional money or selling any products.
Now imagine how that $140 in fundraising credits would continue to grow when you use the SCRIP program in other ways, such as:
- Paying off your Kohls charge card;
- Going out to dinner at Applebee's, Ponderosa, or Pizza Hut;
- Culver's, Taco Bell, or I-Tunes stocking stuffers at Christmas;
- Gift cards from any of the participating SCRIP vendors for the paperboy, babysitter, teacher or that hard-to-shop-for special someone.
SCRIP can be used for many household purchases including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline, travel, and dining out. View the complete listing of participating retailers at the Family Center or at www.glscrip.com.
How do I place an order?
- Complete an updated SCRIP form, available in the rack next to Opies office or download and print from right here. Vendor changes occur regularly so be sure to get an updated form each time you place an order.
- Full payment is due when the SCRIP order is placed -- Cash or Check payable to BDFC-SCRIP.
- Orders with payment can be dropped off in the SCRIP drop box located on the wall next to Opies office.
When will my order be available?
- We have SCRIP cards on hand for over a dozen local retailers. Stop in and pick one up today!
- SCRIP orders are placed each week and are typically available for pick-up by Tuesday or Wednesday.
- A Family Center representative will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday nights to distribute SCRIP orders. More details will be provided once the season starts.
