Why Should I Purchase Gift Cards? For each gift card purchased a percentage (1% 18%) is split evenly between your designated account and St. Louise School. Last fiscal year, Feed the Mind raised over $40,000 for the school. Credits can pay down Tuition or the Family Share requirement of $600. Gift cards make great corporate gifts. Business owners can order cards in specific denominations to suit their needs. If you re a Kohl s charge customer you can use the Kohl s gift cards to pay your credit card bills. Only Kohl s cards bought through the church can do this! Contractors can earn significant Fuel Perks or Pump Perks by purchasing Giant Eagle or Shop N Save cards at St. Louise, then buying Lowes or Home Depot gift cards at Giant Eagle or Shop N Save. Purchasing Giant Eagle and Shop N Save gift cards makes it easier to budget grocery money. Everyone has to eat so why not give a percentage to the school, help pay down tuition, or help a child in need via the Angel Fund. It s a win/win! Order today by filling out the form in the folder. Same day orders will come home on Thursday. Special day orders will be filled within a week. Cards are also sold at LeGras Parish Center 7 days a week. Order online at www.stl-fundraising.com. Purchase Giant Eagle and Shop N Save gift cards and use those cards to purchase other gift cards to get Fuel Perks at Get Go or Pump Perks at Sunoco. This is especially true when you purchase other gift cards with Giant Eagle or Shop and Save cards bought at STL during the double Perks promotions. First time ordering? Fill out a Retail Rebate Agreement available at the Parish Center or online on the School Website, (Donate Now, View All Our Fundraising, Support STL, Feed the Mind ) so we know where to apply your percentage of the rebate (ex. Tuition, Family Share, Angel Fund, etc.) It doesn t cost a penny more.and the little bit of extra time required is worth the benefit! Questions? Contact Tammy Manion at manion19@comcast.net or Amy Manion at ajmanion814@msn.com.
