FOOD FOR CASH
One of the easiest ways to help the Christ Child Society (CCS) is by grocery shopping!
If you buy your groceries at either Basha’s (which is also AJ’s and Food City) or Fry’s, you will want to participate. Each of these markets provide us with cash enabling us to purchase items for the children we serve. Basha’s and Fry’s use different methods to administer this program.
Basha’s - We receive a 6% return on all purchases at the three affiliated markets. This is how it works:
CCS buys a number of $10 Basha’s gift cards.
CCS sells a $10 gift card to you.
You now have a $10 gift card that you in turn add more money to (upload) for your groceries…you do this at the store BEFORE you checkout. Using a credit card or check add money to the gift card and then check out using the gift card to pay. You can use the same gift card and follow the same procedure each time you shop.
The $10 gift card can be purchased by contacting us at christchildsocphx@gmail.com.
Fry’s - We receive a percentage of their Community Rewards Program so the amount varies according to the non-profits participating. We do not use gift cards with Fry’s. With Fry’s you will be linked through your VIP card and this is how it works:
Go to www.frys.com and either log into your account or create an account.
Go to MY Account, find “Community Rewards”. Enroll in the program…our organization number is MP768, and links you with the Christ Child Society to receive a percentage of your shopping dollars. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING to participate.
To verify that you are linked, the next time you shop, verify that the Christ Child Society is listed at the bottom of your receipt. This is a one-time task and unless you change it, you will be linked through your VIP card.
