After completing a 6-hour volunteer shift, shopping certificate(s) can be requested by emailing Jenny Moran with the school, school personnel’s name (if applicable), school district, email, and date volunteered.
In addition, if you want us to indicate who the certificate is from, please provide that info also (for example, ABC Finance Department). We will send the shopping certificate directly to the recipient/school principal.
