Box Tops for Education

Through its Box Tops for Education program, General Mills has donated more than $190 million to schools across America since 1996. Box Tops funds have helped schools purchase everything from textbooks to computer kiosks to art supplies. More than $13 million has gone to purchase or install playground or other physical fitness equipment. 

Save the “Box Tops for Education” labels found on certain products and drop them in the labeled box in the hallway connecting the church and the Gathering Space. St. James School receives 10 cents for every label. Check out www.generalmills.com.

 
Campbell’s Labels

Today, over 80,000 schools and organizations are registered with Labels for Education, benefiting more than 42 million students. Over the years, we've been able to provide more than $100 million in merchandise to America's schools!

It's simple! Just tear off the labels from any Campbell product and drop them in the labeled box in the hallway connecting the church and the Gathering Space. St. James School can redeem the labels for educational supplies. See more information at www.campbellsoup.com.
