Amazon has announced plans to shut down its charity program, AmazonSmiles, at the end of February, 2023. Through this program, the company donated a percentage of purchases to a charity of a user’s choice. The company says “…it will continue to pursue and invest in other areas where it can make meaningful change…”.

Although we are losing this program that helps provide for things such as our  signature events and rent, there are other ways you can contribute to the MSAV at little or no cost to you. By using  Kroger Community Plus, PayPal, eBay, Birthday Fundraisers on Facebook, and Legacy Donations through funeral homes, you are able to make such a crucial impact. We are also registered with the Cisco Foundation Matching Gifts Program.
