We know you're just as passionate about helping kids as we are, so we are sharing three innovative ways that you can help financially contribute to YouthZone - at no cost to you!
AmazonSmile We encourage our community to support local businesses that give so much back to YouthZone. However, sometimes you just need to take a cyber trip to Amazon.com. If you shop at Amazon, then you'll want to visit
AmazonSmile, which is a simple and automatic way for you to support YouthZone every time you shop at Amazon. For most purchases made through
AmazonSmile,
Amazon will donate .5% of your purchase to the charity of your choice. To sign up, visit
www.smile.amazon.com and follow the easy steps and select YouthZone as your charity of choice. When you're ready to shop, you'll just need to go to the AmazonSmile site (which looks and feels just like Amazon) instead of the Amazon.com site.
Good Search
What if you had a penny for every time you searched for something on the Internet? With Good Search, YouthZone can get that penny! Good Search is similar to other search engines, like Google or Bing. And, every time you search through Good Search, a penny gets donated to your favorite charity. Registering is easy and takes less than a minute.
Good Search also offers another component, Good Shop. With Good Shop, you can shop at your favorite online stores, who will then make a donation based on a percentage of your purchase. All you have to do is visit the Good Shop site, find the store you're looking for, and click to that site from Good Shop. This week, a YouthZone staffer was looking for a very specific pair of Reebok running shoes. By going through Good Shop first, Reebok donated 6% of her $100 purchase to YouthZone. That's $6 for an extra step and less than five seconds to get there!
City Market Community Rewards
This third way of giving is super easy! Visit the City Market website, register your City Market Card and select YouthZone as the charity you wish to support. After your card is registered, City Market will donate a percentage of what you spend to YouthZone.
