At a time when communities have to stretch every dollar, an annual program offered by Greer’s Supermarkets is having a positive impact.
Greer’s, a local supermarket chain celebrating its 100th year, has provided over the past 7 years $400,000 in FREE educational equipment and supplies for schools in its market areas.
The Greer’s “Apples for the Students” program has been supporting a growing number of participating local schools since its inception. "We try to make it as easy as possible for parents, grandparents or any of our shoppers to help us support our local schools" says Jan Greer Endfinger, Director of Marketing for Greer’s Supermarkets. "Our associates and customers feel good about what we are doing to enhance education in communities we serve."
Parents, family and friends of students are asked to collect register receipts when shopping at any Greer’s CashSaver, Market or Food Tiger location and give them to their favorite local school. The receipts are converted to points and redeemed for items in our Apples for the Students catalog of over 600 items. Greer’s has provided over $60,000 in teaching tools and athletic equipment just this past year!
During the 2015-16 school year, 142 local schools participated and collected 6,563,322 points in receipt totals! Schools, Church Schools and Day School Centers can participate by going to http://www.greers.com/apples-for-students.
