Automatic MANNA Withdrawal NEW!
You can now pay for your Manna purchases with an automatic withdrawal from your checking account. To be eligible for this service you must complete the automatic withdrawal form and submit it with a voided check to the St. Joseph Parish Business Office at the parish center. After you have been registered as a member of the automatic withdrawal program you can pay for your Manna purchases in three ways:
- check the debit box on the Manna preorder form
- ask the Manna seller at the cash & carry table to mark you purchase as a debit
- join the “standing order” program
“Standing Order ” Program NEW!
If you are a member of the automatic withdrawal program, you can take advantage of our “standing order” program. With this program we will send you (through your messenger child) your “standing order” every Thursday and the amount of your order will be debited from your checking account each week.
For example, if you know you spend at least $100 on groceries and $50 on gas every week, you can sign up for a “standing order” for those amounts. Then every Thursday you would receive $100 of Jewel, Dominicks or Ultra Foods (your choice) and $50 of BP, Shell or Speedway (your choice) gas cards. Your checking account would then be debited $150 every week.
Any card available on the preorder form can be included in a “standing order”.
Don’t forget---if you need more than your “standing order,” you can always fill out an additional preorder form!
