Manna
Manna is a program where you purchase gift cards from all types of retailers for things like food, gas, restaurants
and clothing. The retailers sell the gift cards to St. Joe’s for a discounted price. The discounted price ranges from
two to fifteen percent which becomes revenue for St. Joe’s. Each St. Joseph family is given a Manna number so you
can have family and friends purchase gift cards with that number and you’ll get credit for it!
- Participation: $1500 in Manna during the course of one year per family
- Non-participation: $150
- Bonus: Over $3000 in Manna gets a tuition credit of 2%
or 1% of purchases depending on the retailer’s discount
