Below are additional ways to support our parish: 

• Scrip - Scrip is a program that allows you to raise money while you shop. Participants purchase gift cards at face value from the school and use the cards in place of cash, checks or credit cards when paying for everyday purchases (groceries, dining out, shopping, etc.). Since the school gets the gift cards at reduced value, they earn a rebate for each card purchased. Gift cards can be purchased in the school office or after Mass on weekends. 
• Memorial - Many families encourage donations to St. William as a way to honor a loved one. Memorials can be directed for a special purpose or as general gifts to the parish to use where needed most. 
• Matching Gifts - Matching gifts are a type of corporate philanthropy that allows donors giving smaller donations the opportunity to maximize the impact of their donation on an organization.  In a matching gifts program, a company donates to a nonprofit organization in response to one of their employees giving a gift.  These gifts can range in maximum size and ratio, but many companies will match an employee’s donation at a 1:1 ratio.  Check with your company's human resource department to see if this is an option for you.  The parish office can assist in providing the required paperwork. 

Thank you for your contributions.  We are truly blessed for your continued support.
