The Wish List  

Coordinator:  To Be Announced

When the need arises for a particular item that has not been budgeted for, our staff or committees may submit their requests to the coordinator for publication on this list.  Donors thus have the opportunity to fill the need directly.  Requests and donations are handled by the coordinator.  All donations will be acknowledged.

eScrip Program  
Coordinator:  to Be Announced

What is eScrip?
This is a way to raise funds to support our programs by making purchases at eScrip merchants.

How does it work?
A portion (up to 8%) of your purchases will be contributed to CBS if you sign up to participate in the program.  You just need to register your grocery club card (must be from a participating merchant) and your debit/credit cards with eScrip.  Then every time you make a purchase from a participating merchant, a portion of that purchase is given back to CBS.

What do I need to do?
  1. Log on to www.eScrip.com and go to "Sign Up".
  2. Designate CBS to receive contributions.  Our Group ID: 153787352
  3. Register your cards.
  4. Visit eScrip merchants to shop and earn!
