With this program, you don’t have to spend any extra money to help Emerson.  Simply check the links and information below to see how your grocery store gives back.  In most instances it will take ONE step from you either online or at the service desk, to connect your grocery store purchases to benefit Emerson School all year long.

Grocery stores WANT to give us money. Ok, let’s do some math: If half of our families spent an average of $100 per week on groceries, and 5% of that comes back to Emerson, how much money would Emerson earn?

150 Families x $100 spent per week on groceries = $15,000 x 5% = $750 per week x 36 weeks in the school year = $27,000 back to our children!

5% can really make a difference!
