(YPSILANTI, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) — Eastern Michigan University is partnering with Engage@EMU for the third annual “Explore Ypsi” program, giving away $10 gift cards throughout the semester.
The program will offer 2,000 gift cards to EMU students, faculty and staff, according to a press release. The cards will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday in Boone Hall 203 and can be used at 25 local businesses, including restaurants, hair and hardware stores. This year’s program includes the Ypsilanti Farmers Market.
Students and employees can receive one gift voucher per valid EMU email address.
“The program doesn’t just support students and staff,” Sam Carter, communications and operations manager for Engage@EMU, said in a statement. “It supports our entire community. When I used my gift card as a student, I had the opportunity to explore Ypsilanti in a way I wouldn’t have been able to without the extra money.”
For more information on where you can use the card, visit the Ypsilanti Downtown Development Authority website.
