Ritchies' Community Benefit Card program offers savings for customers and fundraising dollars for nominated organisations at the same time!

Here’s how it works!

• Ask for your free Ritchies' Community Benefit Card at your nearest Ritchies supermarket or liquor store!

• Application forms are available at all Ritchies supermarkets and liquor stores.

• Enter the name of your service or sporting club, school, kindergarten, hospital or favourite charity as the recipient of a donation from Ritchies.

• Ritchies Community Benefit Card application form is returned to our Head Office, where the details are entered into our computer to enable us to work out how much to donate to your nominated group at the end of each month.

• We do not ask you to give us your name or address! Simply tell the cashier the name of the organisation that you would like to be the recipient of a donation on your behalf and we’ll be happy. We just love giving money back to the community!

• Your individually bar coded Ritchies' Community Benefit Card will be issued and can be used immediately. Choose between a key tag to place on your key ring or the convenience of a plastic card for your wallet or purse.

• Every time you shop at Ritchies, you will need to present the card or key tag to the cashier.

• Every time the bar code on the card is scanned, 1% of the money you spend is automatically allocated to your nominated group.

• Make sure you’re not the only person to nominate your organisation! You’ll need 5 to 10 other friends or members at least, spending a total of $1,000 between them in the month, to qualify for the minimum donation of $10.

• There is no limit to the amount an organisation can receive through Ritchies' Community Benefit Card program. Put simply, the more members or supporters shopping at Ritchies, the greater the size of the donation that Ritchies will give you each month.

• There are also around 4,000 weekly specials that have extra discounts for Ritchies' Community Benefit Cardholders. These “CB” specials are clearly marked with red shelf tickets bearing the Community Benefit logo and can save you anything from 5 cents to $5 per item.
