Grocery Scrips

A Great Way to Give

Columbine Unity's grocery scrip fundraising program has earned our church nearly $2,000 in each of the last two years. A simple way to earn money for the church, we buy gift cards from local grocery stores at a five percent discount, and then sell them to you at face value.

This does not require you to spend extra money. You simply convert your money into a different form which facilitates a donation from the grocery store to Columbine Unity. The more money you convert to scrip, the more the store donates.

You can purchase scrip for King Soopers, Vitamin Cottage, Sunflower Market, Safeway, and Sprouts. Most store cards we offer carry a fifty dollar denomination, except for Sprouts which we only offer in a one hundred dollar denomination.

King Soopers cards are our most popular, and they are the only ones linked by individual number to our church. This means that if you recharge them at your local store instead of buying new ones, we continue to receive the 5% rebate.

People often ask about Whole Foods, Albertson's, Walmart, and Costco, but they only offer a one percent discount, and we don't do enough volume to make it worthwhile.

How to Purchase or Help Sell

The cards are sold downstairs after each service at the foot of the stairs just outside of Fellowship Hall. Selling these cards is an excellent way to serve the church, as it is easy and fun and involves only an hour once or twice a month.
