MERCHANTS DONATE TO SOUTH-HOW CAN YOU HELP?

If you participate in our paper or electronic scrip programs, merchants in our community donate to South. Last year Market of Choice donated almost $15,000 to South because our parents participated in eScrip. 


    What can you do to help with this? Patronize participating businesses using the electronic or paper scrip program. Get everyone in your family--and extended family--to register their cards to help raise money this way. No cost to you or your family. How to get registered or buy paper/gift card scrip?

Electronic Scrip Program: 

   If you aren't sure or if you haven't registered before: go to www.escrip.com and register the debit or credit cards you most often use to shop. Identify South Eugene High School as the recipient using: 

 South Eugene High School- ID # - 6781184

     If you're already registered, make sure to renew your Safeway Club card registration in August. Safeway is now requiring an annual renewal to contribute through this program. Go to www.escrip.com and click on the checkmark near the Safeway log.

     In 2008 Market of Choice donated almost $15,000 to South through this program.

Paper/Gift Card Scrip Program:

     This scrip is sold in the office daily during open hours in summer and during the school year. Buy scrip for Albertson's, Capella, Friendly Market, Newman's Fish Market, Uncommon Scents and more.

     The office is open from 9-noon and 1-3 most days during the summer.
