Fundraisers and Events
E- Scrip
Every time the eScrip Community Card is presented at the checkout, Schnucks will give a percentage of the total grocery bill to the consumer's designated organization (school, church or non-profit youth group). There is no need to go door-to-door, no bake sales and no candy sales. Customers simply earn money on goods they would normally buy at Schnucks.
The Community Card is not a gift card so there is no money required up front. It's not a typical loyalty card because you don't need to use the card to save on Schnucks already low prices. You just present the card every time you shop and you automatically earn money that is transferred monthly to the organizations of your choice.
How it works.....
1. Pick up a card at any Schnucks Store.
2. Register your card online or call (800) 931-6258.
3. Shop at Schnucks and have your card scanned when you check out.
Your purchases create automatic contributions of up to 3% of your purchase price. Access your personal reports online to see how much you have earned.
