Some people love the hustle and bustle of the Christmas shopping season — running from store to store, fighting the crowds, and collecting armloads of bags.
For the rest of us, online shopping is our best friend.
After all, you can shop from your couch, and the gifts arrive on your doorstep just a few days later. Plus, they’re already boxed up. All you have to do is throw on some wrapping paper or stuff them in a decorative gift bag!
You can find some great ways to save money while shopping online, too. But did you know that when you do your shopping at AmazonSmile, you can also help save a life?
If you shop for gifts on Amazon, you’re already halfway there. Just sign up for AmazonSmile, select World Help as your charity, and 0.5 percent of your eligible purchases will go directly toward providing help and hope around the world.
It’s easy to sign up:
• Visit amazon.com and sign in to your Amazon account
• You will be prompted to select a charity
• Type “World Help” in the search bar
If you’ve already signed up, but would like to switch your charity to World Help, follow these steps:
• Visit amazon.com and sign in to your Amazon account
• Click “Your AmazonSmile” from the “Your Account” drop menu
• Click “Change Charity” and search for World Help
Just be sure that as you shop, you’re using smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com or the mobile app.
This holiday season, skip the overcrowded stores. Do your Christmas shopping online and help transform lives at the same time.
