Grocery Stores:Grocery stores often offer savings programs for schools. Stores vary throughout the country so we recommend you contact your local stores and ask them if they have or would be willing to run a savings program for your school. Here are a few:
- Shaw's (Star Market): Offers a Receipts Rewards program where eligible non-profits can collect Shaw's and Star receipts, send them in to Shaw's, and receive a check for 1% of the eligible register receipt amount. There is no limit on the amount of register receipts collected. Ask family, friends, business associates, relatives, and neighbors to save their receipts for you. Perhaps even place a glass jar on your work desk with a "Shaw's Receipts" sign reminding co-workers to drop them in. Email shaws.receiptrewards@shaws.com or call 508-313-3939.
- Market Day: Market Day lets you choose a school to receive profit from your order. Register at marketday.com.
- Stop & Shop: Offers a fundraising gift card program that allows your school to purchase Stop & Shop Gift Cards at a discount and then sell them for face value.
Tyson Project A+: Clip and save labels from Tyson products that feature the Project A+ logo. The labels are collected at a participating school, and the school can then redeem them for cash from Tyson.
Campbell's Labels for Education: Clip and save proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands and earn free educational equipment for your school.
Kemps Back-to-School Bonus Days: lets you purchase Kemps products and earn 5 cents for every valid Kemps product purchased.
Milk Moola & Donuts to Dough: Earn 5 cents for every cap or bag top collected from Kwik Trip or Kwik Star's Nature's Touch, and Kwik Quencher products. For every Glazers Dozen or Half-Dozen price oval your school or organization turns in, you earn 10 cents each.
Can & Bottle Recycling: If your state recycles bottles and cans, have your school collect them and turn them in at a bottle redemption center for cash. Or, ask that parents return them to the store and donate the receipt to the PTO which can then be turned in for cash at the store by the PTO.
Here's a Tip: Start a student volunteer group at your school and let them get together periodically to trim, count, and check expiration dates on labels so they are ready for mailing.
