INCENTIVES: If a MPSPA family orders more than $20,000 in scrip in a fiscal year it will recieve a full credit towards their $40 fee. If a MPSPA family refers another family it earns a $10 credit if that referred family orders via ACH once. Click here to download the MPSPA referral order form.
5. One order per participant per week. All families must have filled out ACH paperwork which will be used every Wednesday to pay for that family's respective order. This is NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE because the participants are receiving dollar for dollar value and the MPSPA is NOT a charitable organization but rather is a "not for profit organization." Payments to the MPSPA are not to be considered, in any way, donations.
6. Any participant writing a non-sufficient fund payment or ACH will incur a fee of $40.00. The fee will have to be paid to MPSPA before your next order will be processed. If two NSF payments are tendered during the same fiscal year that participant will not be allowed to participate again (until that account is reconciled). All ACH payments are processed Wednesday at 12 NOON ALL QUESTIONS GO TO mpspa@gmail.com.
7. Order Drop-off: You must drop off your order on or before Wednesday by 12 NOON at the MPSPA drop box located at 2828 West Central Avenue, Basement, Toledo, OH 43606.

IF THE ORDERS ARE READY BEFORE Friday @ noon then an e-mail notice will be sent to all registered e-mail addresses stating that the orders are ready for pick-up. EACH MEMBER FAMILY IS REQUIRED TO GET THEIR ORDER BY 5:00 P.M. FRIDAY OR 5:00 P.M. THE DAY THE E-MAIL NOTICE IS SENT (whichever is earlier). The scrip boxes will be available on Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. YOUR SCRIP WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS! Each family will be given an individual pick-up box and a key. THIS KEY IS IRREPLACEABLE and as such if it is lost a new lock will need to be installed on your box at a cost of $40.00 paid by the family before they can continue in the scrip program. COUNT YOUR ORDER IMMEDIATELY AT THE PICK-UP SITE! If an order is incorrect immediately to report the discrepancy! If an order is removed from the pick-up site without communicating with the MPSPA or the day of the E-MAIL NOTICE has been sent (whichever is earlier) the member family is precluded from claiming that the order is incorrect in any way. ALL QUESTIONS GO TO mpspa@gmail.com.
9. When filling out your order please CALCULATE CORRECTLY. Please know what merchant’s have discontinued their scrip participation (you are notified via e-mail). If you submit an order that is incorrect in any way the MPSPA will adjust it in a manner that makes the most sense contextually. If you pay too much or order scrip that has been discontinued the MPSPA will adjust your order by substituting the scrip that is most equivalent to the discontinued scrip or, if there is no equivalent, then that family will receive that amount in the grocery scrip that they most often order. THERE WILL BE NO CALLS TO INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES TO CORRECT THEIR ORDER SO CHECK & RE-CHECK YOUR ORDER & YOUR ADDITION BEFORE SUBMITTING IT!
10. THESE GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE THE SAME AS CASH! Neither the MPSPA nor any individual volunteering for or employed by the MPSPA will accept or has any responsibility for lost, stolen or misplaced scrip. ALL QUESTIONS GO TO mpspa@gmail.com. ALL RETURNS FOR WHATEVER REASON MUST BE APPROVED BY THE MPSPA via email from mpspa@gmail.com before any return is made. Scrip returned because of a MPSPA error will be cheerfully credited back to the family's account. However, scrip mistakenly ordered by the family or ordered for a vendor that has closed or moved will be credited at MPSPA's discretion and subject to a 10% restocking fee.
11. Unless otherwise notified (via e-mail), the program will operate weekly. Please check your e-mails often for updated pick-up/drop-off schedules. An updated schedule will be announced (via e-mail) at various times throughout the year.
12. Finally, all complaints should be tempered by the fact that participation in this program is voluntary. Thank you.
