Are you a Raley’s shopper?
Be on the look-out for your next opportunity to support the Little Brown Church while buying your groceries -- at NO extra cost to you.
LBC is registering in Raleys’ “Quality of Life” program. Members (plus friends and family of members) will be able to obtain a card which they will register in support of LBC. Then every time you buy your groceries, the cashier will scan your card and LBC will automatically receive from 1 percent to 4 percent of the amount of your purchase. You don’t pay any extra and Raley’s donates the qualifying amount to the church in support of the youth.
We will be ordering our cards soon –Caren F.
