WINN-DIXIE COMMUNITY PALS
Winn-Dixie has authorized the St. Tammany SALT Council to participate in the Winn-Dixie Community Pals program. This great program creates the opportunity for Winn-Dixie to donate up to $7,200 per year - WITH YOUR HELP. Here is how it works: Winn-Dixie has assigned a unique bar code to the SALT Council. When it is scanned with a Winn-Dixie Customer Rewards Card, from then on, whenever the Customer Rewards Card is used for a purchase, Winn-Dixie donates a percentage of the total sale to the SALT Council. It costs you nothing, and you help the SALT Council raise needed funds to pay for our events and programs.
To download the SALT Council - Community Pals flyer with the Council's bar code, click on the "Downloads" page link, and click on the "Winn-Dixie Community Pals-SALT Council" Flyer. Or click HERE. When the flyer opens, or after you download it, print it and take it with you the next time you go to Winn-Dixie and ask the cashier to scan it with your Customer Rewards Card. You will begin to help the SALT Council immediately, while you benefit from the great products and prices at Winn-Dixie! And after you have had the bar code scanned, give the flyer to someone else, and they can become a contributor to the SALT Council, too.
The SALT Council is very appreciative of the opportunity to participate in this fantastic Winn-Dixie program!
