Our church is enrolled in the e-Scrip fundraising program, which
includes local merchants as well as many local restaurants. With no
additional cost to you, a portion of your bill can be contributed to
Aptos UMC.
Just as many schools use this program to raise funds, so can our church.
The eScrip program rewards customers by contributing a percentage of
members' purchases at a variety of stores and restaurants to a group
such as a school or, in our case, church. All you have to do to become a
member is to register your grocery club card and/or debit/credit cards.
(The site takes care to keep this information secure.) Then visit the
stores you regularly shop at, such as Safeway or Macy's, and use the
card you registered, and a percentage of your shopping is credited to
Aptos UMC. You can also register for eScrip dining, and the church will
receive a percentage of all your payments at participating restaurants.
You can do good while enjoying a wonderful meal!
The primary merchants affiliated with eScrip in our area are Safeway,
Macy's, and OfficeMax. Many more merchants are listed online and offer
rewards through the eScrip Online Shopping Mall. Dozens of local
restaurants participate in the program, including:
Palm Deli
Cilantros
Dharma's
El Palomar
Smoqe
Golden
China
Hindquarter
Severino's Grill
If you're already participating in an eScrip program for your children's
schools, you can add Aptos UMC and donations will be split between the
organizations. Donations can be split up to three ways. Just go to www.eScrip.com to update your account
information.
Complete lists of merchants and restaurants are
available online. Register at www.eScrip.com . Our group ID number is

Church in the site's search box. If you have any questions, please
