This is in response to Dale Severance's request for ideas Hello Dale, I would like you to know of one idea that is being practiced here in Dallas. This is the location, as you probably know, of the "Dallas Area Parkinsonism Society", an organization that is always on the lookout for money making activities to help finance its many ways of support for PWP's. This idea also involves grocery stores. There are two chains and the ideas have some differences between them. The one I am most familiar with issues cards, like credit cards, however they are just identity cards. Once a customer is registered and the card issued, it can be used without further identification for cashing cheques and pay for the groceries. Use of the card gives a small discount to the bill, but the real advantage is the avoidance of repeated identification. The card can be registered to assign a certain small percentage for charity purposes by a number encoded on the card. Even a small percentage will, through continued use, add up as a steady stream of money for the good purpose.
