SENIOR VILLAGE AT SADDLEBROOKE “NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS” THROUGH AMAZON SMILE
Help support Senior Village at SaddleBrooke when you shop from home on Amazon! The “Amazon Smile” program rebates ½ of one percent of the on-line purchase price for all qualified purchases to designated beneficiaries like Senior Village. During the last 12 months, that equates to $500 in additional income for the Village to help our SaddleBrooke neighbors with transportation and home services.There is no special registration for purchasers. Here’s how to direct your rebate to the Village:
- Go to the Senior Village website: https://seniorvillage.org
- Scroll down and open “Patrons and Village Friends”
- Scroll down to “Amazon Smile” Click on the link and designate Senior Village at SaddleBrooke as your “Smile” charity. Easy!
- At that point, you can start shopping as you usually do on Amazon
- Once the purchase is completed, the rebate is sent directly to Senior Village at SaddleBrooke.
As distance shopping and home delivery continue to increase in popularity, this is a no-hassle way to benefit the Village’s “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” programs. Thank you, Ed Kula Unit 43, Senior Village Treasurer
