Westbury youth are pleased to offer SCRIP cards again this year. These will be especially useful to you as graduations and weddings approach.

What is a SCRIP card?

What merchants offer SCRIP cards?

Hundreds of merchants including Sam’s Club, Walmart, Kroger, Best Buy, Circuit City, Olive Garden, Bed Bath and Beyond, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, iTunes, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Edwards Cinema, Loews Cinema, and others.

How much do they cost?

SCRIP cards are offered in various denominations, like gift cards. The amounts vary from merchant to merchant, but are usually in the $10 to $50 range.

What’s in it for Westbury Youth?

It doesn’t cost you a penny to use the card, but Westbury youth get a percentage—averaging about 8%—of every card they sell, donated by the merchants. Since you already buy gift cards, groceries, gas, etc., there is no extra cost to you, and Westbury earns a small amount for their mission trips.
