FundScrip Program
FundScrip is a fundraising program here at the Lambeth United. It encompasses the purchase of gift cards for major retailers and a rebate is paid back to the church. In a nutshell, by using pre-bought gift cards for some of your regular purchases, the program will give money back to Lambeth United Church! How effective is FundScrip? Collectively we have earned $13,578.59 since we joined the program. We thank everyone who has participated and recognize the Mayo, Sullivan, Polgar, King/LUC and Pickering families who have each topped the $1,000.00 figure that their collective 300+ orders have earned totalling just over $6,000.00. Every card helps – think of those ‘prayer miles’ you are earning.
Here is a video describing the program:
There are two order forms available:
- Short order form (only list the most popular retailers)
- Long order form (lists all participating retailers)fvg
