Youth Groups Fundraising
Gift Card Program
One of the ways our Youth Groups raise money is by selling gift cards, also known as "scrip." This program is a wonderful and easy way to support our youth groups with no added expense to you! Simply purchase gift cards at face value — either as gifts, or to make everyday purchases for yourself at places like Stop & Shop, Starbucks or Barnes & Noble — and the Youth Groups receive a percentage of each card sold. Your support so far has been wonderful — to date we've raised over $900!

In addition to ordering from the Youth Group Director, you can also open up a family account at the Great Lakes Scrip Center site, www.shopwithscrip.com. Then you'll be able to order your gift cards online, and our Youth Groups will still get a percentage of your order. Here's how:
On the left side of the page, in the green box entitled "Family Sign Up!", click on the link that says "Create Account." - There you'll be asked to create a user name (you can use your e-mail address), password and enter account information (only your name, year of birth and zip code are required).
- After reviewing their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, click on the "I Accept" link at the bottom of the page to continue.
You'll be on a page entitled "Join a Non-Profit" which will tell you "Your account is not associated with any organizations." In the blue box that says "Enrollment Code," enter F6843AB718L15 (please note this code is case-sensitive, you'll need to type it in all caps, the way it appears here).- Click the "JOIN" button.
The next page is entitled "Manage Non-Profits" and should read:
You are a member of the following organizations:
Saugatuck Congregational Church/Westport, CT [active]
- Now you can start placing orders! The system will also keep track of your purchase history, and let you know the status of your orders.
