(Each Box Top is worth 10 cents) Bring your box tops to the church, school or Parish Office; or mail them to SFXP, 33 Cross St., Hyannis, MA) You can also help by visiting www.boxtops4education.com and sign up at the "Marketplace". The Marketplace is where you can shop at hundreds of great online stores such as Gap, JC Penney, and Lands' End. A percentage of each online purchase you make is applied directly to the benefiting school, SFXP, with no cost to you! Please encourage friends and family to collect and shop online as well. We truly are grateful for your support.
