It’s that time of year again…
"COMMUNITY CASH BACK"
Acme Fresh Market is amping up their annual
program called "Community Cash Back". Now (Aug
11) thru December 31, 2016, when you buy ACME
brand products, it accumulates cash back for our
organization. We're asking that all parishioners save
their ACME receipts and bring them to church, as
our parish is going to participate in this promotion. All
you have to do is buy ACME brands and bring your
receipts to church. We still have a box in the foyer,
just drop the receipts in the box. Even if you’re not
sure if what you bought is an ACME brand, drop your
receipts in the box in the foyer and we will go through
them for you. Thank you in advance for your help.
