St. Martin's and Amazon Smile
|
If you shop on Amazon, consider choosing St. Martin’s as your Amazon Smile Charity. Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase–excluding shipping, handling and taxes—to the charity of your choice. That means for every $5,000 in purchases, your charity will receive $25.
Start by logging on to smile.amazon.com using your regular Amazon login and password. (You will need to log out of your regular Amazon account first.) Options are slightly different if you are logging in from a desktop or mobile device, but specific directions are available by searching for Amazon Smile charities. From a desktop, go to Your Account from the navigation at the top of any page, and then select the option to choose a charity. Mobile device options are under the right-hand menu at the bottom of the screen. Once a charity is selected, it will automatically be applied when you log in to Amazon.com. (You must reselect your charity every six months.)
Type: St Martins Episcopal Church Houston to find St. Martin’s. Please note that there are many St Martins Episcopal Churches listed, so adding Houston makes the process easier. Other options include St Martins Episcopal Preschool Houston and the Hope and Healing Center & Institute.
