Support Promise CHC whenever you shop on Amazon � for free


SIOUX CENTER � You can give a gift that keeps on giving to Promise Community Health Center this Christmas season � and beyond � without spending a penny.

And it�s easy.

Every time you shop with Amazon, the online retailer will automatically donate 0.5 percent of the purchase price to Promise. All you have to do is select Promise as your charity of choice.

To get started, go to the following link to register Promise Community Health Center as your charity: smile.amazon.com/ch/20-5896415. Promise will remain your charity of choice whenever you shop thereafter on Amazon unless you change it.

Once you are registered, just go to smile.amazon.com � rather than amazon.com � every time you shop for goods online through Amazon. The website works exactly the same as the regular Amazon site with the same selection of products, same services and same shopping experience that you have become accustomed to. Your login and password to sign in and all your account information also remains the same.

The only difference: You will support Promise.

�This is a wonderful way for people to support Promise without costing them anything. All you have to do is sign up,� said Derrick Vander Waal, public relations and development coordinator for Promise. �This is Amazon�s way of giving back and supporting charitable organizations such as Promise.�
