FundScrip is a gift card fundraising program that St. Mark’s is going to be using.  It’s a great way to raise money from the purchases we are already making – eliminating the need to ask you to increase your donations, make another casserole or sell anything. The program does not ask anyone to change what they buy, where they buy it, or how much they spend.  
How does it work?  Supporters of the church pay for their everyday expenses with gift cards bought through FundScrip, and a percentage of the gift cards purchased is donated to the church. FundScrip will begin in September and two orders per month are planned.  Order forms and envelopes will be available beginning in August and detailed information about ordering your gift cards will be provided at that time. If you have any questions please contact Patsy Brander by phone at 625-1062 or e-mail cbrander@ns.sympatico.ca or Bonnie Dawson by phone at 625-3838 or e-mailb.dawson@ns.sympatico.ca.
