East St. Paul Lutheran School coordinates events throughout the school year to raise funds for special activities, projects, and the school budget. However, as parents, teachers, and staff, we can also assist with fundraising year around by collecting labels from items we already purchase, and turning them in to ESPL for redemption. For your reference, listed are the current programs in which we participate.

Scrip

When members purchase scrip, they're purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where many of your organization families already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return ask you to support them by shopping with scrip at their stores. Your organization members can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they earn revenue for your organization.
