Since there are a lot of amazon customers who read these threads and will be busy buying for the holidays, I wanted to remind people that if you put smile dot in front of your amazon.com address you can choose a charity. Amazon will send a portion of your order to that charity. It costs you nothing. The price is identical to all prices on the normal amazon. I have been supporting Sanctuary for Senior Dogs for about a year now. Since I order a lot, it must have helped them at least a little. And if thousand of people do this, we could make a difference. Once you designate the charity of your choice, it automatically knows the next time you go to your smile.amazon page. You can change the charity if you want.

What a nice post! I never would have thought to put that reminder here on the boards. Great charity you have picked. I've been supporting Bad Rap since i found out about amazon smile. Enjoy the holidays!

thank you for reminding everyone. I found out about this about a year ago right here on these forums and have been donating to a local no-kill animal shelter with my purchases. it's a generous, painless way to donate to those in need.

I've been participating since they started it. I buy more via Amazon than anywhere else.

I wish I had known about this sooner. I have bought tons this year due to DD going off to college, and redoing my kitchen, but thank you for the heads up on this.

Thank you! I buy from Amazon all the time and didn't know about this. I have it bookmarked now and will remember.

I use this for every purchase I make with them. Hopefully, it is helping my charity out a lot.

I use this address to help a cat rescue organization in NJ. These people are so lovely.

When I receive acknowledgement of a donation, the director hand writes a personal note to me and asks me about my fur baby.
