What is TWB?
TWB is a way for Seven Holy Founders to raise money without additional out-of-pocket donations. You can make donations by doing nothing more than your normal household shopping.
How does it work?
Instead of using cash to make purchases, you use TWB Certificates, which you purchase from TWB representatives at Church or School. Well-known, local and nationally franchised retailers, restaurants and supermarkets issue these gift certificates. For each certificate purchased, we receive up to 25% of the face value of the certificates.
Schnucks now uses a program called eScrip. Instead of buying gift certificates, families can register a Schnucks Community Card to benefit SHF. Present this card to the cashier as you check out and SHF will benefit from your purchase. Go to www.escrip.com for more information.
Why should I participate?
In 2006/2007, participation in the TWB program (or an equivalent cash buyout) was made mandatory for all school families. The current requirements for each family may be found here. The money raised by TWB helps to make up the difference between the true cost of education and the amount paid in tuition.
Where can I use TWB certificates?
They're not just for groceries anymore! Click here for a list of participating merchants. The Great Lakes Scrip program allows us to offer more stores with faster turn-around and even better returns to the school. See the Great Lakes Retail Scrip Program page on this web site for more information, a complete list of participating retailers and a downloadable order form. Retail Scrip also counts toward your mandatory requirement amounts.
