Support SAKLC When Shopping Amazon |
|
Do you shop on Amazon? If so, supporting SAKLC has never been easier. When you go to shop online, go to www.smile.amazon.com. Login using your same Amazon email and password. You will be asked to select a charity - just type in "St. Armands Key Lutheran Church Foundation". Amazon will donate a portion of all orders purchased through AmazonSmile back to SAKLC. These are the exact same products, and exact same prices. Just remember to always shop using www.SMILE.Amazon.com (if you shop just using Amazon.com, the order will not qualify). If you have any questions, or if you need help setting this up, please reach out to Michael.
