SCRIP
(Grocery Store Gift Cards)
Using
gift cards (scrip) from our local grocery stores (Martin's and
Weis') is an extremely easy and convenient fundraiser! You
buy, for example, a $50 card (looks like a credit card) that you
use to buy $50 worth of groceries. The cards are easy to and convenient
to use. Just present them to the cashier as you would a credit or
debit card. The store contributes 5% of that total (in this case,
$2.50) to the synagogue! It really adds up over time. So support
B'nai Abraham and buy scrip!
For Martin's scrip contact Marcia Miller, Bea Lahn, Sharon Wagshal, Judy Fishkin or Sybil Schiffman. For Weis' scrip, contact Jeanne Jacobs.
You may also order scrip by calling the synagogue office at 301-733-5039.
Donations
to our Congregation, always needed, are a meaningful way to congratulate
friends on simchas or show you care in time of sorrow.
