Scrip Gift Card Fund Raiser
Throughout the year, H.U.B.O.B. provides everyone the opportunity to purchase gift cards for their favorite retail and grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and more. You have seen Marion Kleiner in Fellowship Hall with the sign up forms. Here is how this program works:
You buy a scrip gift card through your church’s scrip program. You’ll pay the full face value, but you’ll earn an immediate rebate percentage for the church that’s typically between 3% and 18% depending on the retailer. Then you use that gift card on your normal purchases.
So as you shop at the places you regularly do with our gift cards, we get a percentage back on that card. So if you buy a $100 Cheesecake Factory card which has a 5% rebate, the church gets $5 and you get the full face value of the card to spend at the restaurant. You’re not spending extra time or money— it’s just earning for our church! With over 700 retailers to choose from, we have a card to suit every need! The percentage rates for each retailer vary and can be found of the retailer link above. Don’t forget, it’s not just restaurants and retail stores! Use your gift cards at the pharmacy as you fill your prescriptions, or use the cards when you do your own shopping. You can get the things you need while supporting the church.
Here is just a sample of the participating retailers you can purchase gift cards for. There are over 700 retailers in this program!
To place a gift card order, contact Kathy Hackler at hackler@optonline.net. CLICK HERE to print out an order form of our most popular cards.
(Please note: ShopRite and Foodtown are NOT part of the scrip program. They work the same way but they are independent. We receive a standard 5% for them and the cards are available in Fellowship Hall without placing a separate order.)

Titanic to a Victorian era High Tea, these events bring our congregation together to share a unique and delicious meal and Help Us Balance Our Budget!.
