. FV's identification number is 136952020.

Why is Farallone View
participating in the eScrip program?

for over 50% of our SCRIP revenues) has switched to the eScrip
program. Other merchants will likely follow.
- Convenience: Supporters
will no longer have to pre-purchase Safeway and other SCRIP from
participating merchants. You will never "run out" of
SCRIP.
- Broader support: eScrip
can be used by friends and family, and for different types of
purchases such as travel or corporate-related expenses.
