Super-Easy-No-Extra-Money Ways to Support Crocker Farm

Do you feel like the school is always asking you for money? Well, there are many ways to support CF without spending an extra dime! Just take a minute to register, recycle or vote and Crocker Farm could earn hundreds of dollars for student activities! Thanks!

* Volunteer!

* NEW THIS YEAR!! Simplified Scrip is a fantastic new fundraiser for Crocker Farm. It's easy, earns money for student enrichment & it costs you nothing more than the face value of the card! Choose from 100s of stores including WalMart, Target, Whole Foods, etc. You buy gift cards & the stores give Crocker Farm up to 10% of the value. You're shopping anyways, so why not support your school at the same time?? Here are the ways to start:
* Order online at www.simplifiedscrip.com
* Call in your order 1-800-514-1891
* Click HERE for a downloadable order form, fill it out & send it into school by the 1st Wednesday of every month & we'll place the order for you.
Contact Becky Demling (230-3306 / beckydemling@yahoo.com) w/ any questions.


* Collect Box Tops for Education from your General Mills food products. There's a drop box in the school lobby.

* Recycle your ink jet cartridges at the school. The drop box is in the school lobby.

* Register on Schoolpop. If you shop online, go to Schoolpop first. Find your regular retailer (Gap, Land's End, Amazon, I-Tunes, and HUNDREDS more) through the site and do your normal shopping. Stores on this site offer to contribute 1 - 10% of your purchase price directly to the school of your choice. Seriously folks, this could add up!

* Sign up for Stop & Shop's A+ BonusBucks program. The store donates 3% of your grocery purchase to Crocker Farm! How great is that? Crocker Farm's "Designation Number" is 05194.

* If you have a Target card, make sure that you've signed up to have Crocker Farm receive 3% of your purchase price.

* Vote for Crocker Farm through the Florence Savings Bank Community Grant. In February the bank will donate $50,000 to local schools and non profit organizations. Any group with at least 1% of the vote will receive a proportional share of the total funds!
