Scrip – a way to help Holy Cross   -   Please Sign Up

What is SCRIP? It is the use of grocery stores card such as for Vons, Scolaris or Ralph’s. All you need to do is swipe your card at the checkout and Holy Cross will get a percentage of the total amount you spend (without adding it to your cost). First, you need to fill out the forms that were handed out in one of the Sunday bulletins or that you find in the back of the Church, and turn them in at the Rectory. Or, you can Email the information to lisasalgado@yahoo.com or call me before 8pm at 962-8826. Another way to sign up for Vons is to fill out the form online at www.escrip.com and our group ID # 166443623. To sign up for Ralphs go to www.ralphs.com and use our non-profit group ID: NPO#90751. Scolaris does not allow us to sign up online; so just turn the form in to me and I will mail it for you. This is a great fundraiser for Holy Cross Church and a lot of money can be earned by shopping at the stores listed above. Sign up family members, friends and coworkers. Vons and Ralphs give 3% of the total you spend and Scolaris 1%. Macy’s is part of Vons Escrip, so sign up your Macy’s card too. I have been involved with this program at Bishop Diego High School and in one month they received $200 just from Escrip. Let’s all do our part and sign up to help our parish. God bless.

Did you know?         The prevalence of abuse in society                                   In surveys of adults, one out of five women and one out of ten men reported that they were sexually molested before they were 18 years old. This means that an estimated 40 million adult survivors of child sexual abuse are living in the United States today. An estimated 9.6 percent of all school children will be molested by an educator or an employee of a school between kindergarten and 12th grade. Between 13 and 34 percent of all females will be victims of sexual assault before the age of 18, and 7 to 16 percent of all males will also be victimized before they are 18. For particular help you may call Suzanne Healy, Director of Assistance Ministry at 213 637 7650.   For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at 213 637 7650.
