Scrip is a term that means "substitute money." When Temple members purchase scrip (also known as gift or store cards), they are purchasing gift certificates that are used just like cash. These cards are the actual cards issued by national and local retailers and purchased at a discount (anywhere from 2 -18%) by the Ways & Means Committee on behalf of our congregation. Temple Emunah members can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing and other essentials or give the cards as gifts. With every purchase of a store card, Temple Emunah earns valuable revenue for our synagogue.
This is an important source of funds for Temple Emunah and is simple to use. Give the Temple $100 and you get a $100 of store cards to your favorite retailers. Wherever you shop, buy the store cards from Temple Emunah – without spending an additional penny – and Temple Emunah makes money!!
Retailers participating in the program include Stop & Shop, The Gap, Starbucks, Staples, Home Depot, Barnes & Noble and literally hundreds of other places where Emunah families already shop. The attached order form highlights some of the most popular retailers and a complete list of available retailers can be found at Great Lakes Scrip Center.
Don’t forget, each Sunday morning from 9 – 11:30, the Scrip Table is set up outside the Temple Office with a wide range of cards on hand for immediate purchase. An order is also placed each week for retailers that we may not have in stock and order sheets received by Sunday night will get you delivery just a few days later.
Please return the attached Order Form or direct any questions to Steve Wilner or Steve Aaron.
