Other Means of Giving - Gift Cards!

There are several ways of giving that do not cost you any money, just a bit of effort.  When you buy gift cards, merchants donate a percentage of the purchase to St. James, which is used to pay off the mortgage. Merchant Cash/Gift cards are available for various restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations.  Among the top sellers are Martins, Wal-Mart, Sheetz, Home Depot, Glory Days, and Bob Evans.

How much are the cards worth?           

Cards are worth the same amount as what you pay for them, the same as what you would pay for your purchases anyway. After purchasing a card, it can be spent just like cash.

What is the average profit on the cards?           

5 – 6% (Some are as high as 20% but others are as low as 1.25%, which if bought with a credit card does not really give much)

Where can I buy a card?

At St. Zita’s (our parish gift shop): Cupboard Hours: Mon. – Fri. 9 am – 5 pm; Sat. 9 am – 12 pm; Before and after weekend Masses and the Wed. evening Mass
