MANNA

What is MANNA?

MANNA is a program designed to offer its participants a tuition reduction while at the same time raising funds for our school. To participate in the program, you purchase certificates through school and use them at local grocery and department stores as well as gas stations, restaurants, and specialty stores. Email: manna@stmarygostyn.org.

Who can use MANNA?

Anyone who shops can use the program. School families, parish families, teachers, staff, friends and neighbors can purchase certificates through the school. Program participants who do not attend the school can have their purchases credited to school families, teachers, or leave the profit to the school.

Why should I order MANNA?

All school families should use the program as a way to offset the cost of school tuition. A tuition credit is applied to the March tuition statement. Additionally, the program generates profit for the school. Some families chose to donate their profit to the school, to other families, or to the teachers for school-related expenses.

How do I order MANNA?

To PRE-ORDER:

Order forms are sent home each week for the month of September in the School Envelope. After September, forms are sent out twice monthly to the entire school. Those placing a MANNA order receive a new order form with each filled order. Simply fill in the order form, enclose a check for the amount ordered in an envelope marked MANNA, and send the envelope to the school office.

Orders are due to the school office or Rectory by Monday at 8 a.m. Order forms are processed on Monday morning and distributed on Tuesday afternoon. You can opt to have your order sent home with your child in the Tuesday envelope or picked up after Tuesday afternoon in the school office or Rectory.

How do I get started?

Fill out a Registration Form and return it with your first order.

If you have questions, email manna@stmarygostyn.org or call the school at 630/968-6155.

How does the program work?

Here is an example:
If you purchase $100 in grocery certificates once a week from September through May, here's how you will profit.
$100 x 35 weeks = $3500
discount/profit x .05
total profit = $175
50% of profit to you = $87.50
This $87.50 will be applied as a MANNA tuition credit on your tuition statements in March.

Remember that bigger purchases mean bigger credits!!!

Multi-Retailers on one certificate: Some of the certificates can be used at more than one retailer.
