In general, Santa Rita will get credit for every purchase you make using your registered credit or debit card for payment. Santa Rita will get a contribution for cash purchases made at Safeway provided you use your eScrip registered Safeway Club Card. With the exception of Safeway, Santa Rita will not receive contributions for purchases made with credit or debit cards not registered with eScrip, so if you want to ensure that all your purchases count for Santa Rita, periodically update your eScrip personal data with new and re-issued debit, credit, and loyalty card numbers and expiration dates.

Why Should I Sign Up?
Our children win when you support eScrip. Last year Santa Rita eScrip supporters purchases added over $16,500 to Santa Rita's PTA fund. Our PTA goal for the 2006-2007 school year is to earn $25,000 from eScrip. EScrip will account for 17% of the year's funds which will be used to provide assemblies, science aides, science programs and supplies, art programs and supplies, library, music, classroom supplies, technology maintenance, Junior Olympics and other programs to our children.
