How does this program work?
Our council purchases gift cards or paper scrip from grocery stores at a set discount
and we sell the scrip/cards at face value. People who purchase the
scrip get their exact value at the store (i.e., $100 gets you $100 of groceries).
These are extremely convenient to have in your wallet or purse and there is no
"product" to purchase -- you can use the scrip with your cash or debit/credit card
and any other coupons/discounts you have are unaffected -- they are like cash at
the store. These make great gifts as well.
Who does this program benefit?
The Scrip Program is a fund raiser for all of the general charitable programs
of Father Diamond Council #6292. In addition, a percentage of the profits are given
directly to St. Leo the Great Catholic School.
What grocery stores are participating?
Giant

Where can I pick up the scrip?
Scrip may be on hand at the following locations/times:
- At the Knights of Columbus Family Breakfast
After the 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM masses on the 3rd Sunday of each month
These breakfasts are held at the Parish Activity Center across from the church.
- At all regular Knights meetings
Just contact a Knight you know in the parish and they can pick up for you.
- Special Orders
If you e-mail or call -- or send in an order, we will be glad to work
with you to get the scrip to you or your group.
If scrip is not on hand or readily available, you may place an order with a Knight.
This is actually preferable as we can plan to have your specific type of scrip in
the denominations you prefer ready to give you. The earlier you order in advance
the easier it is to plan and get enough scrip. So if you are getting ready for the
week or month's shopping or are having a large function, please contact us.
See below for ordering information.
