SIGN-UP To Support Eastside!  (Easy PTO Fundraisers)

   Harding's eScript Community Card Contributions

Registered Hardings shoppers support our school each time they swipe their card.  Hardings mails us a check of up to 4% of the amount spent each month by registered Harding's card purchases.  This is one of several ways that PTO earns money to give to teachers toward grade level field trips, grade level programs that come into the classrooms or end of the year parties.  To register, pick-up a community card application outside the school office, or click here to register your card.

Martin’s Card Registration - Eastside School #4708

Registered Martin's card purchases earn Eastside points that can be used toward school equipment, such as science videos and playground equipment, at the end of the year.  Our goal is to earn 100,000 points!  Sign-up at any Martin's Customer Service Counter. Or, click here to sign up online.

Target Card Registration  - Eastside School #62738

"Take Charge of Education": Click here to sign-up on-line. 

When you use your registered Target card, you earn MONEY for Eastside classrooms!  This is one of several sources of income that PTO gives to teachers toward grade level field trips, grade level programs that come into the school or end of the year parties.  Each team of teachers chooses how they will spend their "grade level activity funds".

Meijer Community Rewards was developed to meet our customers' growing desire to support k-12 schools and religious groups in ways that don't stretch their budget...or their time. Your k-12 school or religious organization can now raise group funds without administrative costs or sales of any kind!

About the Program

Enrolled members shop Meijer, simply paying with cash, PIN-based debit card or linked Meijer Credit Card. Purchases made with a linked Meijer Credit Card earn 1%. Purchases made with cash or PIN-based debit card and a swiped Meijer 1 Card^SM earn 0.5%.

Each year, at least 6% of Meijer net profits go toward overall community giving - one of the highest percentages in the retail industry!
