Please support Temple's Giant Eagle gift card program - a fundraiser that does not ask you to contribute any money.  Quite simply, Temple makes money when you buy groceries for you and your family and when you fill up your car with gas.

You can purchase Giant Eagle gift cards in increments of $25, $50, $100 and $200.  To pay for the cards, you can write a check to Temple or have the funds automatically taken out of your checking account at no additional cost to you or Temple. 

You can use the prepaid gift cards like cash to purchase groceries and fuel at Giant Eagle and GetGo.  The cards are worth the exact amount of their purchase price.  As you do now, you can use your Giant Eagle Advantage Card to earn discounts on fuel at GetGo locations through the Giant Eagle fuelperks! program.

Giant Eagle provides our Temple with 5 percent of every dollar spent, contributing needed revenue for programs that benefit and enhance our entire Temple community.  The funds are earmarked for Temple's operating budget.

Our goal is to have Temple families purchase $200 worth of gift cards per month.  Just think, if 200 member families buy $200 Giant Eagle gift cards on a monthly basis (that's only $50 a week for groceries and fuel), Temple will realize $24,000.  The possibilities for our congregation are endless.

The gift cards will be mailed directly to your home every month, or you can buy them in the Temple office and gift shop.  You can pay by dropping off or mailing a check to Temple, identifying the value of the gift cards that you want in a note or on the check.  Or you can pay through monthly automatic withdrawals from your checking account, credit card or debit card.  If you choose to use a credit card or debit card, you will incur a 4 percent service fee that the bank charges Temple. 

Click here to download the authorization form for automatic withdrawals each month from your checking account, or your credit or debit card.  Return the completed form to Temple and keep a copy for your records.  You should indicate the amount to be withdrawn on the form.  Please identify the day of the month, either the 1st or the 15th, on which you wish the withdrawal to be made.  All information is strictly confidential.

Temple has sold the Giant Eagle gift cards since September 2002.
