Lord of Life SCRIP Program

What is SCRIP?

SCRIP is a gift card that is purchased at the face value of the card. Lord of Life buys SCRIP from companies that purchase large quantities of cards from retailers, grocery store chains, restaurants, home-improvement centers, and department stores at a predetermined discount.

When we buy a gift card, the difference between the face value and the discounted price for the gift card equals the funds raised. It costs you NOTHING more to buy SCRIP and you raise money for Lord of Life in the process.
