Introducing a First-Ever Event: Cheese Toast Month at Sizzler
For the very first time, we are thrilled to announce Cheese Toast Month at Sizzler this September! When you indulge in a mouthwatering Cheese Toast Sandwich meal at the Sizzler on Plaza Drive in Oceanside, you’re not only treating your taste buds but also supporting a fantastic cause within our community.
Throughout September, our church, UMC Vista, will receive a generous donation of between $6 and $7 for every Cheese Toast Sandwich meal sold, with the potential to raise up to $2,000! You can enjoy this exclusive offer any day of the month, and the best part is, there’s no need for a flyer – simply order your meal and savor the goodness.
Sizzler has selected us as the beneficiary for this groundbreaking inaugural event, and your support can help us make significant strides in closing our budget deficit. So, come relish the flavor of Cheese Toast Month at Sizzler, and be a part of something truly special for our community. Thank you for your support!
Scrip is a fundraising initiative that harnesses the power of everyday purchases. It involves purchasing gift cards or certificates from popular retailers, such as grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and online platforms. These gift cards carry their full face value, meaning you can use them for your personal shopping or gift-giving needs.
How does it work?
-
Purchase: You can buy gift cards from our organization or at the Scrip Table before or after our Sunday service. These gift cards are available for a variety of retailers.
-
Retailer Rebates: When you purchase a gift card through our Scrip Program, a percentage of the card’s value is donated back to our organization by the participating retailer. This rebate can range from a small percentage to a more significant amount, depending on the retailer.
-
Fundraising Impact: The rebates we receive through the Scrip Program directly contribute to our organization’s financial goals. The funds generated help us support our programs, initiatives, and community projects, enabling us to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
