Sobeys Order Update
January 19, 2026
Grocery Store Gift Card Fundraiser
Orders are due on Jan 20th at midnight.
How The Sobeys Gift Card Fundraiser Works
- Members purchase Sobeys gift cards at face value. The club combines orders to receive a bulk discount. This savings is passed on to members’ Mandatory Fundraising Commitment (reconciled year-end).
- If the combined team order is above $5,000, the order receives a 5% discount. The entire 5% discount is applied to the MFC.
- If the combined team order is above $20,000, the order receives a 6% discount. This 6% discount is shared – 5% is applied to the MFC and 1% is goes to the club.
- There is a minimum order to qualify for the discount. Club orders under $5000 will be cancelled and members will have the option of having their order returned or applied to a future club order.
