Hello Everyone,

We’re just on the heels of an overwhelmingly successful Victorian Tea Fundraiser, which sold out and drew in over $3,500.00 for our family. A huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who made this event possible! We will be posting photos soon.

Just in time for the holidays, we’re kicking off our second Fundscrip campaign, which offers you a simple and no-cost way that you can help by paying for your everyday purchases and gifts with gift cards!

By simply changing your method of payment, you can help contribute toward changing the lives of refugees. 

OUR GIFT CARD CAMPAIGN

Forms Due: Friday, November 24th, 2017

Projected delivery: First week of December

PORT UNION CARES has teamed up with FundScrip to provide you access to gift cards for over 220 popular retailers. There’s no catch. Buy cards at face value, get face value at the retailers. Each card you purchase generates a percentage towards our cause. It’s that simple!

The gift cards are the same cards you would purchase if you went directly to the stores to buy them. Buying them this way saves you time and energy, and lets you help a great cause!

Have a look at the list of retailers participating in FundScrip. The list includes most of the large grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, department stores and retailers where we all shop regularly. And remember  —  the holidays are coming. Here’s an opportunity to help those in need and cross people off your gift list at the same time. Definitely a win-win situation!!
