What is Scrip?
Great Lake Scrip uses the phrase “Scrip is fundraising while you shop”. Simply put St. Stephen’s receives a percentage of any cards you purchase. We are not asking for you to spend any more money, just change the way you purchase your everyday needs. Try using scrip (gift cards) for grocery shopping, CVS, the movies, office supplies, hardware, bookstores, etc…

How can I purchase Scrip?
Scrip is available both instock and by special order. Instock scrip will be sold on Thursday mornings in the School Advancement Office from 7:45-8:45 a.m., after all weekend Masses and in the Rectory office during the week. You may also send an order in to school with your child. It will be filled and returned to you the same day.

Will my scrip expire?
No. Scrip is issued in gift card form, not as gift certificates. There are no stated expiration dates on the gift cards.

What stores are available through Scrip?
We currently carry 18 frequently purchased retailers instock but there are hundreds of retailers available for special order. Our order form lists our instock scrip on the front and over 60 of the most popular scrip retailers on the back. If you go to the Great Lake Scrip website www.glscrip.com you may view the entire list of hundreds of retailers available. Order forms are available in the School Advancement Office as well as on our church website ( www.ststephenspennsauken.com).

What forms of payment are accepted?
We will accept cash or checks if you have an application on file. If you would like to pay by check simply complete the application and submit it with a copy of your driver’s license. You may bring it to the scrip table after all Masses, to the Rectory or to the Advancement Office at the school.

Why should I participate in buying Scrip?
By supporting this program we are supporting St. Stephen School! We are looking to fund the subsidy the parish owes the school. It is a win/win program benefiting both the school and the parish. We earned over $1000/month during our slower summer months. Now that school has started we are looking to at least double that amount!
