Our SEED (Support Emmaus Every Day) program allows parishioners to purchase gift cards that are used just like cash. Emmaus buys the cards at a discount and re-sells these cards at face value. Patrons receive 100% of the cards’ value. Discounts ranging from 2-25% provide additional revenue for our parish at no additional cost to our patrons.

Gift cards can be obtained during the week at the parish office and before and after Masses on the weekends. You can set up a monthly EFT transaction and receive the SEED gift cards of your choice in the mail or pick them up after Mass following the 15th of every month. Follow the EFT links on the right column. You can also download the form and send to the office.

The list of participating retailers includes vendors from across the state and nation, not just local. And you can special order cards for many that we do not stock regularly. Visit the SEED Retailers link on the right column for details. Print the order form, fill it out and return it and a check or cash to the office or the SEED table at Mass. Orders are placed on Mondays and the cards are usually received by Friday. Order early for Christmas!

Volunteers are needed to sell the cards at all Masses. Time commitment is flexible. Please contact Jane Heckler if you would like to be a part of this ministry. SEED cards are a way for everyone, no matter their means, to financially support the church as it is a 'no-cost' fundraiser. SEED cards brought in over $30,000 profit to Emmaus in the last fiscal year which supports both the youth and adult faith formation programs.
