SCRIP
An easy way to make a difference.
Raising money for the school using scrip is simple. Just use scrip "gift cards" for your shopping. It doesn't cost you anything (a $100 Safeway gift card still buys $100 of groceries), but it brings much-needed funds to our school. We buy the gift cards in bulk, and a small percentage, ranging from 1-17%, is donated back to the school.
Scrip gift cards that are normally available in the school office:
Barnes and Noble $10 & $25
Albertsons $100
Bend Downtown Dollars $10 & $25
Cuppa Yo, $10
Fred Meyer $25, $50, $100, $200
Gap/Old Navy $25
Home Depot $25 & $100
Itunes $15
Jamba Juice $10
Lowes $25 & $100
Old Mill $10 & $25
Quiznos $10
Safeway $100
Regal $25
Subway $10
Shell $50
Starbucks $10 & $25
Target $25
Walmart $25 & $100
Whole Foods $25 & $100
Order scrip
In addition to the scrip retailers we have on-hand, you can special order scrip using this form. Did you know that over 80 local retailers participate in the scrip program? A handy list of these merchants with the percentages given back to the school is available. Even more local retailers participate when you consider all the Old Mill and Bend Downtown businesses available through the Old Mill gift cards and Bend Downtown Dollars. Also, see here for a complete list of retailers. From Amazon to Zappos, the Great Lakes Scrip program offers an extensive selection of retailers you love best and shop most.
Ordering Scrip Online
It’s possible to print out scrip at your home computer or reload your Starbucks and other cards. Check out www.shopwithscrip.com. You’ll need to set-up an account as well as put in our school code: EB48BL951L11L. You may order online and then bring a check to the school office or you may sign up for PrestoPay and pay directly from your checking account ($0.15 fee per order). This allows you to print out and use scrip from ScripNow retailers shortly after ordering.
eScrip – Safeway
If you shop at Safeway, you can automatically have a percentage of your purchases go to St. Francis by using your Safeway Club Card. All you need to do, is sign up online at www.escrip.com using the following instructions:
Sign In. Click on "Register Now".
Type Group ID #8566864 (for St. Francis of Assisi School)
Click on "St. Francis of Assisi School". Proceed to next step.
Provide your Name, Address, etc. (do not have to provide phone/email)

Next Step: You are signed up! eScrip will give you a Supporter ID #, and will ask you for a password if you care to track your monthly totals.
Two more items that are important:
1) Safeway has a few exclusions for which they won’t pay a contribution: gasoline, alcohol and tobacco are the main items. (Go to www.escrip.com, then to “Family of Merchants” for further Safeway information).
2) If you don’t have a Safeway Club Card (or lost the card), contact Safeway at 1-877-SAFEWAY. Make sure Safeway has the same phone number that you are using at checkout stands.
Online e-scrip Mall
Do you shop online? Go to www.eScrip.com first and use eScrip Online Shopping Mall's "AutoEARN”
to earn contributions for online purchases at stores you know and trust. You pay exactly the same as you
would normally shopping online but our school receives an additional contribution. There are over 800
stores available. The first time you shop you will need to download the "AutoEARN" program. E-scrip doesn't count toward your $2500 scrip commitment, but it's an easy way to help our school.
