Help VIRCS without losing a penny - Pick up a Thrifty's Smile Card from us!

Thanks to Thrifty Foods, there is a new way to help VIRCS just by doing what we already do - buying groceries. Thrifty Foods has provided us with special Smile Cards, cards that can be loaded with money from a credit card, debit card, or with cash, and spent on groceries at any Thrifty Foods store.

When you use a VIRCS Smile Card at Thrifty's, Thrifty Foods will donate 5% of the total to VIRCS. That means you spend 100% on groceries, and VIRCS gets 5% from Thrifty's.

Though it is a small amount each time, over time these donations can be a huge support for hard-to-fund programs, such as our Enable program for Youth and our ESL classes. If you shop at Thrifty's, and would like to help, please consider picking up a card at VIRCS on your next visit.

Cards can be obtained at VIRCS through me (Chris), Danny (our Enable youth worker), or from our receptionist, Anna.

Thank you for your support!
