LWML Scrip Program

There is a new look to the grocery scrip program. Scrip

First - the paper certificates are no longer available (individuals had been forging them) so now they are the plastic wallet size cards in $25, $50, or $100 denominations. Second - they are now ONLY usable at King Soopers (or their affiliates, which are listed on the back of the card). Shortly we will be getting ones for Safeway as well. Sorry for the inconvenience. You may purchase the scrips in the Epiphany kitchen.

What is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for various needs in our church.
