Announcing a NEW raffle for the months of April, May, and June! Those who place orders each month will be eligible to win a $25 gift card! Get in on the fun!
So far this year, our scrip orders have earned Or Chadash just over $1000. We've had 24 families place orders.
There were 12 families who placed orders in each month -- January, February, and March -- to be eligible to win our first raffle. And our lucky winner is.... Lisa Tauscher! Lisa wins a $25 gift card for Lands End. Congratulations, Lisa! And thank you to all 12 of you who made the commitment to ordering each month!
Can scrip save the day? Check this out:
$500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year = $240 earnings for Or Chadash.
50 families ordering $500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year = adds up to $12,000 earnings for OC.
We can do this!
For April, our order deadline will be Monday, April 15. It's never too late to get in on this fundraising gem! Scrip is another name for gift cards, and when you sign up to buy them on the shopwithscrip website, every purchase you make earns Or Chadash much-needed (free) funds. There are hundreds of retailers, offering varying percentages back to Or Chadash. And Or Chadash shares the benefits with you as credit on your dues. This is truly a win-win opportunity! Take a look at the shopwithscrip website, and please contact Christine Berg with any questions:
cberg3@comcast.net.
Happy Shopping -- Happy Earning!
