Community Rewards Program and Giant Eagle Debit Cards

These two fundraising possibilities are ongoing throughout the year. The debit cards from Giant Eagle are purchased at face-value ($50) by our members and friends and are used like cash. Under the Kroger Community Rewards Program the amount of money spent at any one time is registered by email or in person using a Kroger’s Reward Card and an I.D. number and the amount of money spent earns the chapter 5 percent.

Grants

Grants are sought from major corporations and interested individuals. These opportunities are continuously being researched. These efforts require the input of all members for contacts to approach. There is a separate committee that meets frequently to work on securing grants, other financial assistance.

Grants received for 2021-22 are from the Emmy Lou Tompkins Foundation, Aldi’s, Joann Fabrics and the Mercator Group.

Memorials and Honorariums

Members and friends are encouraged to donate directly to these funds. Gifts may be designated for a specific project or given to be used as needed. Forms are available to submit with the donations.
