UPDATED Box Tops for Education Program

Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. You can still clip and send them to school. Every valid Box Tops clip is worth 10¢ for your school. Make sure each one has a clearly visible product acronym and expiration date. Physical Box Tops Fall deadline is Thursday, October 29 ! Please return them to school in a ziploc or taped to a paper by this date!


Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting

to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label.

If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still

worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any

store and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online.
