  • Grocery Gelt Program There's money on the table for Temple Israel at no cost to you! Schnucks is changing to a new grocery card program, and we are in the process of mailing out the new cards to our existing active card users. You will no longer load the card with money but simply hand it to the checkout person to automatically earn money for Temple Israel. This new card will also act as your gas card, so you will no longer have to carry two cards. You can still use your old card until all of the money is used, but do not re-load it. If you have not been a regular Schnucks card user and would like to get on board with this new plan, please contact Erma Cohen, ermac@timemphis.org. The Kroger stores are still under their same plan of loading your card with credit card or check at the customer service desk or at checkout.
