AYPO Grocery Certificate Program

What are grocery certificates?

Certificates or cash cards issued by a local grocery store and used like cash to purchase groceries. $100 worth of certificates buys $100 worth of groceries.

How does this help AYPO?

AYPO purchases grocery certificates at a 4 – 5% discount from local grocery stores, earning 4 – 5% off of the sale of each grocery certificate.

For which stores can I buy certificates?

Certificates are available for Giant Food, Magruders and Shoppers Food Warehouse. If you shop at Safeway, please see below for information on the E-scrip program.

How do I purchase certificates?

Certificates may be purchased by printing an order form and mailing it to the AYPO office (4026 Hummer Road, Annandale, VA 22003). Certificates will also be available at AYPO concerts throughout the season.

When completing the order form, please indicate how many certificates you wish to purchase and how often you would like to receive them. They will be mailed to your home. Please mail your check (made payable to "AYPO") upon receipt of your certificates. AYPO reserves the right to delay issuing new certificates if an account is more than 30 days past due.

What if my store purchase is greater than the amount of certificates I hold? You may supplement certificates with cash, check, debit, or credit cards to pay for your purchase at the store.

What if I lose my certificates? Unfortunately, they are just like cash and cannot be replaced. So once you purchase them, treat them as you would cash.
