Jewel-Osco Shop & Share

For the first time ever, all the Orthodox Jewish day schools, elementary and high schools will be working to help one another raise money for our schools. 

For years, organizations have had their fund raising shopping days with Jewel. The fundraiser is called Shop and Share. Typically, the organization would distribute in advance coupons for those specific shopping days to the members of their organizations, encouraging them to shop. The store would donate about 5% of the sales proceeds back to the organization. Fundraising results were typically poor. As an example, in a school of 250 families, 25 would use the coupons and the school would make just several hundred dollars.

Now Picture This!  Imagine the effect of 2000 families, representing the broader Jewish community, shopping.
Figure each family spends $100 per week.
2000 families x $100 grocery bill  per week x 5% donation = $10,000 per week
donated back to the organization whose turn we are shopping for. This is mind boggling! And only because we decide to help one another.  Many of us are shopping anyway at these stores. Why not use our shopping muscle to help Jewish education. Each school is allowed to run 3 weeks per year by Jewel. This would bring in an extra $30,000 per year per school!

We strongly encourage you, as a member of the community, to clip the coupons, use them and give them to any one you know. We have to help one another.
 
This is a team effort. And the success of this program starts with you.

Let�s make this program work for all our schools. Clip the coupon and use it! We will post the results of this effort so that we�ll understand the power of achdus.
