Community Support Card

Bashas’ Community Support Card is a great way to generate funds for your organization.  Here’s how it works:

• Your organization purchases the Community Support Card and receives a 6% discount. The Community Support Card offers your supporters a choice where to shop, as it is accepted at all Bashas’, Food City and AJ’s stores.
• Your organization then sells the Community Support Card to supporters at face value and receives a 6% profit.
• Your supporters can reload their Community Support Card at Bashas’, Food City and AJ’s Fine Foods stores and your organization will earn 6% of the reload amount.
• Earnings from reloaded Community Support Cards will be distributed once a month.

To enroll your organization in Bashas’ Community Support Card, simply submit a letter with your organization’s name and address stating your interest in participating with our program, plus a copy of the notice from the IRS stating that you are registered as a charitable organization under IRS code section 501(c)3 to: communitycard@bashas.com or call 1-877-384-4960
