The gift card program has been around for over 35 years and is a major fundraiser for the Church of St. Joseph.
It’s an easy way to support our parish simply by shopping as you normally do!
Here's how it works: 1. Purchase gift cards from the parish office for the supermarket, retail store or restaurant of your choice.
2. Spend the gift cards exactly like money (dollar for dollar). Participating stores accept the gift cards as cash.
3. Receive a rebate. The Church of St. Joseph earns 5% on supermarket gift card purchases and passes 2½% of
your total purchases on to you in the form of a rebate. The percentages earned from other gift cards differ from
store to store. The percentage received is shown on the order form .
How do I receive my rebate?
At the end of the fiscal year (March 31), your purchases are totaled and your rebate is determined from those totals. Rebates are given out during the month of May.
Receive your rebate in one of three ways:
Receive your rebate in supermarket gift cards to your favorite store. Rebates are accrued from April 1 through March 31. Rebates are available to redeem from May through the end of June.
As tuition credit (automatically credited to your tuition in April).
Donate your rebate to the Capital Campaign (You will receive this credit donation on your total gift card purchase). This rebate will be reflected on your year-end contribution statement, which is available in January.
