Support GSS

SCRIP Program Goal - $2,500

We would like to remind you or introduce you to our SCRIP Program here at Good Samaritan School (GSS). SCRIP is a fundraising program that works while you shop with the money raised directly benefiting our students and school.


 

What is SCRIP?

SCRIP is simply a word that means, "substitute money". In other words, SCRIP is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Safeway, Kohl’s, Home Depot, Arco, Pizza Hut, Applebee’s, Starbucks and many, many others. Local retailers include Yogurt Extreme, American Dream Pizza, Book Bin, and others.


How Does it Work?

You might ask how do the merchants help us raise money. It’s simple. SCRIP participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. GSS families buy the certificates for full face value, redeem them for full face value, and GSS keeps the difference as revenue.


Support the School with Regular Household Purchases

The appeal of SCRIP is it puts regular household purchasing dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending funds on items outside your usual budget. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with SCRIP at the stores that participate in the program. SCRIP can be used for gifts and other household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline, and even dining out. It is a beneficial resource that meets many purchasing needs.


Please click on the SCRIP order form button above to see the complete list of participating retailers and get started raising money for the school. Orders are placed as they are received, but bi-monthly orders are preferred whenever possible. Orders may be left in the school office. If you have any additional questions, contact SCRIP Coordinator Jenny Hanson, at 541-829-0700 or emailto:jennyhanson04@hotmail.com

Annual Fund Campaign Goal - $15,000
