St. Teresa $crip Program

  •     What is $crip?
$crip is basically like a gift card that can be used like cash to purchase products or services from merchants who have issued them. $crip can be used to purchase anything from groceries, fuel, and clothing, to entertainment, electronics, and music. The proceeds go to textbook purchases, computer supplies and saving for when it’s time to replace our school bus.
  •     How does $crip work?
St. Teresa’s School buys $crip from retailers at a discounted price and then sells $crip for the face value of the card. When an individual buys a $50 $crip card to Russ’s, they are able to purchase $50 in groceries or gas. If that purchase is made with $50 in cash, the school gets nothing. But, if that same purchase is made with $crip, St. Teresa’s $crip fund gets $2.50. You have the exact same purchasing power with $crip as with cash or credit but, by using $crip to pay for your purchases, the school makes money.
  •     Where and when can I purchase $crip?
$crip is available before and after 4 pm Saturday Mass and all Sunday Masses. $crip can also be purchased any day that school is in session and also at the rectory on Saturdays between 9 am and noon. A form is also sent home weekly in the school’s communication folder. You can fill out the form on Wednesday and get your $crip Thursday or Friday.
  •     Who should buy $crip?
Anyone who is reading this can buy and use $crip.  It is convenient to buy and easy to use.


It pays to buy $crip!
