SAFEWAY - DAY ONE RESULTS :)

We should have word back on Day 2 in a few hours!!  Here's a message from Dolores!!
SAFEWAY UPDATE FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS IN THE FIELD!! :) Hello! I received receipts from Mrs. Maheras and Mrs. Caliendo (parent volunteers) 1st timers...they helped out at Safeway on Chandler Blvd and they started us off with a whopping $78.17. Thanks Ladies!

Are you signed up for a shift yet? Don't just sit back and watch the money add up, be a part of it! Email me to confirm a shift! THX Dolores (email Linaresdd@cox.net )

SAFEWAY RECEIPT COLLECTION STARTS TODAY!!

Our big Safeway Receipt Collection starts today!!!!!  The proceeds will be shared among ALL GRADE LEVELS so please contact Dolores to volunteer!!!!  email Linaresdd@cox.net

Here is some info you may  need to know if you are new to our program.

All supplies is kept at customer service. (posters, baggies, marker, scissors, tape)  Please be prompt so that if the shift before yours is filled, that volunteer won't have to take down signs, they will already be up for you.  Last person on a shift just, return everything to customer service.  

Make sure you mark your baggie with your name, kids names and teachers.  Deliver your receipts to HULL as soon as you can.  Do NOT leave receipts at the store.

HOW does this work???  During a 4 week promotional period, shoppers had an opportunity to purchase items marked with the yellow school bus 10% back to school labels.  ALL of those products are participating products and the shopper earned 10% of what the item cost. 

If the shopper has their safeway card linked to a school the money is automatically deposited into the school's account.  Their receipt will read something along the lines of "thank you for participating your earned amount has already been credited to the school of your choice" 

If the shopper does not have their safeway card linked to a school, there will be a 17 digit code on the bottom that will be printed out and that is the code we need.

The amount earned is based on what the shopper spent during the 4 wk promotional period, not what is in their basket that day.

In the past receipts have been worth 20 cents to as high as $64.00!  We don't know the amount until we enter those 17 digits in the escrip website.

If the shopper does not have a code or a message from the 10% back to school promo it simply means that during the promotion they did not purchase any of those items.

The schools get the money from the products like General mills, Hillshire Farms, Johnson & Johnson, Betty Crocker, Proctor & Gamble. 

We do not get the money from Safeway they are an escrip participant.

So while you are at Safeway, you might run in to buy a Starbucks or water or dinner-make sure that you register your Safeway club card to HULL because that way we earn 1% of everything you spend year round.  Go to www.escrip.com our group ID # is 10383528.

Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me!

I usually tell shoppers as they are going in "HI I'm collecting your receipts they are worth money for our schools"  Once they know you are not selling anything they are happy to give you their trash!

The code prints towards the bottom of the receipt, some may be hesitant about personal info on it, the only info you see is their name and maybe last 4#'s of card they used, tell them we don't need that info, and we have scissors to trim off the bottom part we need.   If they just hand you the whole receipt, just take it, I can look through it and figure out if it is good or not.

Safeway Receipt Collection For HULL - WE NEED YOU!

Please email Dolores at Linaresdd@cox.net to sign up at one of the 3 Safeway locations! This fundraiser is fantastic if we have the volunteers to support it! The earning potential is UNLIMITED!!!
