Together
We’re Better, or TWB, is a certificate
program that generates funds for Little Flower Parish without
costing you anything. Simply by using TWB certificates instead of cash
to do
your normal shopping, Little Flower receives a rebate from
the
merchant. It is as simple as that. All you have to do is get
in the habit of buying the certificates from Little Flower
before you go to the store, restaurant, etc.
Most of the merchants participating in this program
are ones you spend money at anyway: Schnucks, Shop 'N Save, Dierbergs,
McDonalds,
Famous Barr, Home Depot, Applebees, Blockbuster, etc. There are
over 80 participating merchants.
And the rebates do add up. Consider
the following:
Assume family's
weekly grocery purchases of $60 x 52 weeks |
3,120.00 |
Entertainment, restaurants,
gifts that a family buys year |
+ 600.00 |
Total Annual certificates
purchased per family
|
= 3,720.00 |
Average Rebate Little
Flower Earns (Conservative Estimate) |
4% |
Average Rebate produced
by one family |
148.80 |
If 200 Families participated |
x 200 |
Total
Additional Funds Raised for Little Flower Parish |
$ 29,760.00 |
|
Although some people may
spend less than the above, larger families also spend a
lot more, so these numbers
are probably a low estimate
of what our parish could generate. But one or two or even
10 families cannot make it work. It’s true potential
can only be achieved if we all get involved. And although
we appreciate
anytime you buy a certificate, it works best when you get
in the habit of using it regularly. Again, it does
not cost you anything extra and you do not
have to buy something you really do not want. All you have
to do
is use a $10 Schnucks certificate instead of a $10 bill,
and you help
Little Flower raise money.
They make great
gifts. Use them for birthdays, graduation, Christmas, family,
friends,
employees,
teachers, etc. With only limited exceptions,
the certificates are treated the same as cash. There are
no minimum purchases,
and they
are transferable and combinable with other merchant discounts.
All you need to do is buy the certificates from Little
Flower.
We carry an inventory of Schnucks, Dierbergs, & Shop
N Save certificates, so they are immediately available.
Other certificates
must be ordered – orders received by Sunday will
be ready the next weekend. Certificates may be purchased
or orders dropped
off at:
Rectory – during
normal business hours.
After Weekend Masses – at
the school or north side entrance to the church.
School – send
grocery and special orders with your child to school. Grocery
certificates will
be sent back
the next day,
other certificates as described above.
