EASY EVERYDAY WAYS TO BENEFIT MILLS
eScrip, the most powerful fundraising program across the nation
Simply sign up at www.escrip.com and register your cards (grocery cards, ATM or credit cards). Designate Mills PTO, Group ID# 154010375 to receive contributions (you can designate more than one group). Then shop as you normally would either online, in stores or shopping malls.
At the end of the month, hundreds of merchants send their sales data to eScrip to process through their computer systems. If registered cards were used on a specific transaction, the computers calculate the rewards amount (from 1% - 10% of total), and we get a check about two weeks later. So the merchants do the donating for us!!
The merchants (Safeway, Target, Macy’s and more) require stringent security systems be in place to protect their customers' information. From a parent’s standpoint, it is a safe and easy way to donate to the school without having to take extra cash from our budgets.
If you’d rather not register credit cards, you can simply choose to support Mills PTO, and then click on the eScrip OnlineMall link. There you will find shopping categories, store listings and even see the amount that the school will get from their purchases. Many of your favorite stores like Target, Eastbay Sporting Goods, Home Shopping Network, use this as a means of donating to schools.
Help Mills teachers get school supplies at Office Deport all year round. Mention to the cashier that you want your purchase to benefit Mills High School, ID# 70010838 OR send your receipts to the school in an envelope marked “PTO” and we will take care of it. Legible photocopies of receipts are acceptable.
