The BC School of Art Therapy has been approved to take part in
the Thrifty Foods Smile Card Fundraising Program. What this means is that Thrifty Foods will donate 5% of the amount you load on your Smile Card to the BC School of Art Therapy. There is absolutely no cost to you. All you have to do is pick up a Smile Card from BCSAT for either yourself or someone else and then take the Smile Card with you to Thrifty Foods when you go grocery shopping.
