HARDING'S eScrip COMMUNITY CARD
FOR THE SCHOOLCRAFT COMMUNITY LIBRARY
-- The Schoolcraft Community Library is partnering with Harding's Market in the Harding's eScrip
Community Card to help raise funds for the Schoolcraft Community Library and you can help!
It is easy and is a great way to help the library. Here's how you can help. Just go to a Harding's
Market and ask for the Harding's eScrip Community Card. Then you can activate your card by
one of two easy methods. You can call 1-800-931-6258 and register your name with our library
or if you prefer you can register online at www.escrip.com/hardings.jsp and follow the instructions there.
Then each time you make a purchase at any Harding's Market you give them your Harding's eScrip
Community Card to scan and presto you have helped the library with up to 4% of your purchases.
No having to remember to keep receipts and then bring them to the library anymore! Just a quick
phone call and a swipe of a card and you have given your help to the Schoolcraft Community Library.
So, join today and start those savings coming in to the library. Many thanks to all who have helped
in the past with their Harding's receipts and many thanks in advance to all who will help us in the future.
