AMAZON SMILE
Amazon Smile is a list of non-profit organizations to which Amazon will donate 5% of your total purchase when you shop at Amazon. Saint John is registered and you can begin donating now. Remember it does not cost the shopper any extra funds to donate, this is Amazon’s way of contributing. Also, you need not be a member of St. John to donate to St. John and Amazon does not share your personal information, i.e., name and amount donated; therefore, spread the word to family members and friends who shop at Amazon.
Below are easy to follow instructions on how to donate:
Go to your browser and type in https://smile.amazon.com.
Select the charitable organization which is St. John United Missionary Baptist Church, Inc. Please type in the organization exactly as stated because there are several St. John churches on the list of organizations.
Shop and purchase on Amazon.
Upon completing the purchase, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to your selected organization. It does not cost the shopper any additional funds.
