Supporting PDACL

The THRIFTY SMILE CARD is a great way to help in funding PDACL.  It is easy and painless!  Basically the idea is that Thrifty Foods will donate a percentage of your qualified spending to PDACL.  This amount is transferred on a monthly basis.
Here is how it works:

1. OBTAIN a Thrifty Card from the Executive Director of PDACL. *See contact info. below.
2. SHOP for your grocery items, proceed to checkout.
3. ADD any amount of money to the card at the store by cash, cheque, debit or credit card prior to purchasing your groceries, let's say $200.
4. PURCHASE your groceries using the SMILE card, this gives 5% cash of your total purchase to the PDACL.Cheques are given to PDACL on a monthly basis.
5. Whenever you have a ZERO ($0) balance remaining or your card, it can be increased at any time.
6. Now it's on your way to THRIFTY's in your vehicle, because it's that easy!
7. NO! It doesn't cost you a thing!
