The OC Gift Card Program:

Gift Cards That Give Back

What if you could donate to Or Chadash without spending any extra?

Could you use any gift cards as the holiday season approaches?

The OC Gift Card Program is the answer for you!

Why is this so good?

Purchase Gift Cards at face value, and retailers donate a percentage of those purchases to Or Chadash. You always get what you pay for ($100 of ShopRite Gift Cards = $100 to spend at ShopRite), and Or Chadash gets bonus funds because you used Gift Cards from our Program. This fundraising effort requires no extra spending! There are hundreds of retailers!

Click HERE to be directed to RaiseRight.com to create an account. Reach out to Christine Berg for Or Chadash's enrollment code. You only have to do this once. Remember your username and password.

Browse retailers: Take a look at all the participating retailers on the RaiseRight website, and place your order!

Four options for paying: Pay for your orders by checking account (29 cent fee), with credit card (3% fee), with debit card (1% fee), or by check.

Next deadline to order plastic Gift Cards is Saturday, November 15th.
