Amazon Smile - an easy way to support the OJC Foundation

Do you shop at Amazon.com? Do you do it through the www.smile.amazon.com site? If your first answer is yes and then second one is no, you are missing out on an opportunity to support a charitable organization with your purchase at no cost to you.

Logging in to www.smile.amazon.com uses the same user name and password as on the regular Amazon site. Prices and product selection are the same, too. The difference is that each user can choose an eligible charitable organization to receive .5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The Otero Junior College Foundation can be your choice.

“I chose the Otero Junior College Foundation as my recipient and have made a few purchases. I was concerned that items I needed would not be eligible purchases, but so far only one item has not qualified,” said Sue Samaniego, OJC Foundation director. “What a simple way to make a difference doing something many of us already do!”

For more information on this program, visit www.smile.amazon.com. For more information on the OJC Foundation, contact Sue Samaniego at 719-384-6821.

Shopping at smile.amazon.com using your normal Amazon log in credentials allows you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop at no cost to you. Amazon donates .5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to your chosen charity. The Otero Junior College Foundation is available as a choice.
