We also participate in the digital Box Tops for Education program.
  • Volunteers are in charge of informing the greater RCF community of the program, sending periodic reminders to turn in receipts, and totalling receipts and submitting required paperwork to Snider's and Corner Market. Volunteers also inform the community of how they may participate in the Box Tops program, and seek out additional Money for Nothing partnerships.
