Other ways to help our school.....
Market Day
Market Day is a monthly food sales program from which we earn a percentage of the profit from orders by our school families and parish members. For over 30 years Market Day has been providing convenient, healthy foods at a value for families and raising funds for schools. Orders can be placed through monthly order forms distributed in the red school folders and available at each church location. Online ordering is also available at www.marketday.com. Market Day pick-up occurs on one Thursday every month from 3-4pm in the school cafeteria. For more information, please contact JoAnn Walker, 764-0089 or Tina McNamara, 570-1215.
Need to stock up on Market Day items in between sales dates? Looking for a quick dessert item? Look no further than the Sara Lee Outlet Store on 27th Street about 2 blocks north of I-894! Once registered in the store as a Market Day participant, 5% of your purchases (this includes Market Day items as well as all Sara Lee products sold in the store) will go to Divine Mercy through the Market Day program. Yes, the store stocks and sells Market Day items along with their discounted Sara Less products. All you have to do when you check out is identify that your purchase is "Market Day". The store clerk will ask for your telephone number, enter it into the computer and "voila" your purchase is automatically recorded and credited to Divine Mercy. Registration is easy! Just let the clerk know you need to register, and they will do that right at the time of purchase (the store has a listing of all the schools participating in Market Day--just remember "Divine Mercy" is the one you want registered to your purchases).
