I had no idea that Amazon.com has a program that gives back .5% of (eligible) purchases to a charity/organization of your choice (search their list of registered organizations).  You have to login with the word 'smile' in the url - so it's smile.amazon.com/I just typed in Kingwood, TX to see what's there... so many organizations from KW are listed - a little bit of everything - schools, the arts, sports, clubs, churches, pets/rescue, etc.https://org.amazon.com/npo/search?q=Kingwood%2C%20TX&ampEmoticon=1It doesn't work through the mobile app, though.  You can select your charity/organization and shop away, but you have to remember to always type-in 'smile' with the url.  4951

Sounds like a great idea, but in reality, only 50 cents of every $100 goes to your chosen charity. Each household would have to do a lot of shopping, regularly, to make much of a difference. Plus, you have to remember to go to "smile.amazon.com" each time for it to record.
 
Anyway, for what it's worth, I signed up. 4951

Don't forget to name a charity when you shop at Randall's and Kroger.

Another thing Amazon does that isn't advertised much is Give Back Box. You can take your Amazon box, put items to donate in it and ship it back for free. They'll pass to the nearest Goodwill in the program. A few other online retailers are part of it too.

Over the 24 years we've lived here, we have adopted four dogs from Twyla's Friends.  It's a great organization and @lola works hard for it! 4951
