Overview
Hello St John the Apostle parishioners and friends,
I am happy to announce that the our Catholic Woman’s League (CWL) has joined with Fundscrip to raise funds for our community. With the pandemic amongst us, options to raise money is challenging and at the same time our community needs support more than ever. All funds raised will be shared with our church, local schools, food banks and others in need.
The CWL would like to continue doing God’s work and here is how we would like to endeavour.
Fundscrip is all about gift cards. Fundscrip is a great fundraiser platform and everyone will benefit- the CWL and its supporters. Are you planning on giving out gift cards for a birthday or appreciation? Consider paying for your groceries with gift cards! Purchase the gift cards through Fundscrip and the CWL receives a percentage ranging between 2-10 percent depending on the store.
Please consider purchasing grocery or gas gift cards on a regular basis. There is no additional cost to you other than the cost of the gift card!! If 25 families purchase the following monthly - $100 gas card, $500 Metro/Food Basic/ Loblaws grocery card and $100 Walmart card the CWL would raise $500 each month!
100.00 x 2% = $2.00
500.00 x 3% = $15.00
100.00 x 3% = $ 3.00
$20.00 x 25 families = $500.00 monthly to CWL.
There are traditional gift cards, electronic cards(e-cards) and reloadable cards available from over 250 retailers.
Your participation is much appreciated and let’s all plow through these hard times to help our community!
God Bless,
Audrey Wojcik
