SVUC GROCERY CARD PROGRAM

Symons Valley United Church is continuing  to run its grocery card program through these trying times. However, we will be refraining from ordering more cards from the grocery chains in order not to have cash tied up in the cards. At this time, we will be suspending sale of Superstore cards as we have run out of them but we do still have plenty of COOP and Safeway/Sobeys cards available for purchase. To order, you can fill out and email the form from the website or just email your order directly to grocerycards@symonsvalleyuc.com with your phone number and address and they will be delivered to you by the next Tuesday. To pay, it is best to etransfer the funds directly to treasurer@symonsvalleyuc.com as the collection and cashing of cheques or access to the church debit machine is very difficult in these times.

Thank you for your continuing support of the grocery card program.
Sincerely, Bret Cousins
