Shopping & Gift Cards
An easy way to support your Church

Overheard at a nearby grocery checkout…
“Hi, Valerie. How are you? I see you’re loading up on all the great specials this week.”
“Oh, hello, Margaret. Yes, have to keep the family fed!”
“What was that card that you used to pay with – it sure was fast!”
“Yes, I love it. No carrying around lots of cash or scrambling for change. No signing a VISA slip or punching in debit card numbers. The clerk just swipes the card and I’m on my way. It’s a retail shopping card I buy through the church and then Islington United gets a percentage. It costs me nothing extra; I have to shop anyway.”
“Sound’s like a win-win setup. Is it just for groceries?”
“Oh no. There are dozens of retailers – everything from gas to restaurants, drug stores to movie rentals, department stores to specialty shops, and more. Jack uses Rona and Canadian Tire cards and others for jobs around the house – you know we’re redoing the rec room downstairs.”
“Sounds great! I better look into it. And you say that the church gets a percentage at no cost to you?”
“That’s right. Get in touch with John Wevers at coffee hour, or email or phone him. He can tell you all about it.”
“Will do. See you later.”

Cards from popular retailers make great gifts (birthdays, graduations, thank you's, special occasions) and use them for your own everyday shopping. A portion of the retailers' profit comes to Islington United at no cost to you.
