/SAFEWAY NEIGHBORHOOD REWARD PROGRAM BENEFITTING GLOBAL VILLAGE ACADEMY NORTHGLENN

How much do you spend on groceries each week? Thanks to the King Soopers and Safeway Neighborhood Reward Program, for every dollar you load onto your Neighborhood Rewards card, 5% will be contributed to GVA-N PTO and be used toward improving your children’s education.

How does the program work?

STEP ONE: Purchase a $5 gift card for King Soopers OR $10 Safeway gift card from the PTO.

STEP TWO: At the check-out counter, BEFORE grocery scanning begins, ask the cashier to RELOAD (add value) to your card (using cash/check/credit card) for up to $500.

STEP THREE: Use the loaded gift card to pay for your groceries.

STEP FOUR: GVA-N receives 5% from King Soopers or Safeway for every dollar you load onto your card.

STEP FIVE: Keep your gift card and continue to reload the card at each shopping trip.

How much money can we make?

It depends on how many families participate and reload the cards. The more families participating, the more money we can raise for GVA-N. Below is a sample break down of the amount that can be raised.
