Fundscrip – the CWL Gift Card Fundraiser is Back! 🎁
Plan ahead for your upcoming celebrations! The CWL is offering gift cards again through the Fundscrip program, which is a great fundraiser that costs you nothing extra. You may buy gift cards for food, gas, stores, and more. A percentage of every purchase is returned to the CWL as a commission to support our parish activities. These cards make excellent gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people, like teens or parents! There is a variety of cards available to order, with a few available on-site. Please note: they only accept cash or cheques payable to St. Isidore CWL. The CWL reps will be available in the vestibule after the weekend Masses to help you place orders.
