Scrip is fundraising while you shop, turning everyday shopping into cash for EPFSC when you use retail gift cards to pay for everyday purchases (like gas and groceries) instead of the usual credit/debit card or other money. Each club member is responsible for selling a minimum of 12 “fundraising units” per membership year. See our Fundraising Policy for details.

• Plastic “hard cards.” Order online during club Scrip Events, provide payment and you will receive an email to arrange pick up when the gift cards arrive. They may also be picked up at the All-Club meeting October 13. ORDER DEADLINE: Friday, September 11.
  • Due to shipping expense, “hard card orders” are placed in bulk several times per year.

• PrestoPay™ lets you pay for your ShopWithScrip® orders online—no more dropping off checks! PrestoPay securely links a bank account to your ShopWithScrip account so you can choose electronic debit when you checkout online. Orders are accepted at any time.
