Are You Throwing Money Away .10 Cents At A Time? ~ Box Tops for Education

How much money are you throwing away by not checking your packages for Box Tops for Education coupons?  

Usually when you hear the saying “give the gift of caring”, most attribute it to a celebration, holiday or event.  Well in this case, I’m talking about giving the gift of caring through the Box Tops for Education program, which supports over 90,000 schools.

If we take a look at what’s happening around us, you’ll see that our community schools are suffering from lack of funding, decreased parental support, staffing shortages and a lack of educational resources.  Every year, our schools are being tasked with doing more while receiving considerably less resources and funds to accomplish the goal of educating our young people.  Our school systems are charged with educating our students and influencing our nation with a qualified talent pool for our global job markets.  Am I preaching to the choir?  Maybe so, but are you doing all you can to support your community school?  Can you do more? Would you like to know how Box Tops for Education could help?

Box Tops for Education® is one of the nation’s largest school fundraising loyalty programs and has been helping schools succeed since 1996. The program has helped schools kindergarten through eighth grade earn over $525 million and counting.  Ten cents in retrospect may seem like a small amount but it packs a punch.  When you participate in the Box Tops program, schools make that ten cents count.  Here’s what you can do to make a difference. 

When you’re shopping, look for participating Box Tops products.  Pick one of your neighboring schools that participate in the program.  You can find out for sure if they participate by calling the school directly or calling the BTFE Customer Service line at 1-888-799-2444 and providing them with a zip code to look up.

Next, adopt a school and encourage your circle of family and friends to do the same.  Then be diligent in your efforts to “clip” Box Tops coupons from products you already purchase.  Box Tops coupons appear on over 250 partnering products such as Hanes Underwear, General Mills cereal, office supply paper and so many more.  Designate a visible place to collect your Box Tops coupons and encourage your family to clip as well. Lastly, mail your coupons to your adopted school, or better yet, drop by and meet the Box Tops coordinator and let her know you support the school.  You’d be surprised what a difference you can make… 10 cents at a time.

Don't throw it away. Give the gift of caring instead!
