Ukrop's Golden Gift Program Celebrates 17 Years Of Giving Back To The Community

In May, each Valued Customer's household will receive one Golden Gift certificate with the total amount of points earned (equal to dollars spent) during the Golden Gift program. These certificates must be submitted to the participating organization's contact person by May 30, 2004. (Customers may divide their certificate among more than one organization by submitting their certificate to any Ukrop's store office for re-issuance of separate certificates totaling the original amount.) Please send your certificates to VSR, P.O. Box 71342, Richmond, VA 23255, or bring to one of the VSR events in May. All proceeds will go to the festival August 14th. Thank you!

Sunday, May 23rd, Diversity Thrift, a non-profit corporation, has generously offered monthly donations to Compassionate Action for Animals in exchange for volunteers on the fourth Sunday of every month. The four-hour shifts are between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and consist of sorting, labeling and stocking used items. All of the profits raised by CAA will go directly toward the 2nd annual Richmond Vegetarian Festival scheduled for August 14th. Please contact Christopher Patterson at chris if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions or other ideas for fundraising for the festival. If you work for a company that matches donations, please consider donating to either VSR or CAA so that your donation can be matched.

 

 

One of the ways funds are being raised for the Second Annual Richmond Vegetarian Festival is the use of a charity portal by people shopping on line...

 

The festival is now signed up on a charity portal (more details below) under 'Compassionate Action for Animals'. There are >470 on line stores that can be accessed thru this portal, and when people shop these stores, the festival receives a % of the profits, but ONLY IF THEY ACCESS THE STORE THRU THE PORTAL!

So, if you would, please remember the festival when you shop on line!Info from iGive.com:
