Have you heard of AmazonSmiles? Amazon has established this online shopping website to allow .05% of the money we spend at Amazon to be given to a charitable organization of our choice. Martinsville On The Move is listed as one of the charities. It is an organization in our small town that is working to improve the community through many different projects. Since we are self-supporting every penny we get adds up to help us with various projects. If you have no charity preference we would be glad for you to choose Martinsville on the Move and shop through smile.amazon.com. There is no difference in shopping through smile.amazon.com than through amazon.com but only purchases made through AmazonSmiles are counted towards charitable donations. Therefore, I have bookmarked smile.amazon.com so that I am taken there automatically when I want to shop for something so that I don't forget. This is a wonderful opportunity to painlessly donate to help out an organization.
