Crosby’s Marketplace wants to remind parents and students of their Register Tapes for Education program. Here is how the program works. Customers collect their grocery receipts from Crosby’s Marketplace and then give the receipts to their school. When they deposit the receipts into the RTFE program, the receipts are then converted into points and redeemed for free equipment and supplies from the program catalog.

The catalog has over 3000 items including pens, pencils, computers, sports equipment and more.

As Jim Crosby, the president of the Crosby’s Marketplace, explained, “We are proud to participate in this program to help provide much-needed educational equipment that goes into the classrooms of our customers’ children. This program is a way of enhancing the education of our youth and thanking our customers for their shopping loyalty.”

During last school year, the Crosby’s Marketplace stores raised over $5500 for nine local schools through this program. The 2014-2015 program started on September 1. For more information about the program, people can call 978-745-4272.
