Credit Union to Sell Supermarket Scrip
The Foothill Employees Federal Credit Union has joined a program of the Arcadia Unified School District to raise money by selling supermarket scrip.
Program spokeswoman Cathy Tyson said Tuesday that local supermarkets, including all Vons and Ralphs stores, donate 6% of the scrip receipts to the Arcadia Educational Foundation. Until the union began participating Aug. 31, scrip was sold only at schools.
Last year, the program raised almost $70,000 through selling more than $1 million in scrip. The funds bought enough equipment to outfit three computer labs.
