Submit Your Box Tops!

An easy way to support Hickory Elementary is to submit Box Tops from your everyday grocery purchases. Just download the Box Tops app to your smartphone and take a picture of your grocery receipt—it’s really that easy.

Here's a list of products that can help you earn money for Hickory.

Great News! If you buy your groceries online or via Instacart, you can still submit your receipts for credit. Reminder: Do not send your receipt as an attachment, otherwise it will not process correctly; just forward the whole email directly from your inbox.

If your digital receipt is only available through your store’s shopping app, you can forward it directly to receipts@boxtops4education.com.
