There are numerous other ways that you can help support the Lyons Fire Fund:
Amazon Smile
Do you or your family shop at Amazon.com? By using AmazonSmile, you can direct a portion (0.5%) of your purchases to benefit the Fire Fund. It may seem small, but it costs you nothing extra, and it all adds up. YES, this is compatible with Amazon Prime. Every item available for purchase on amazon.com is also available on AmazonSmile at the same price. It is very easy to set up; here are the steps:
1. Go to smile.amazon.com
Look for a link to select your charity
Click on the link and Search for "Lyons Fire Fund" and select it
2. Whenever you shop, instead of going straight to Amazon.com, go to smile.amazon.com. Log in as you normally do with your amazon log-in. Shop away! You have just supported the Lyons Fire Fund and can see it on your account!
igive.com
Qualified purchases from over 1700 companies qualify for an average donation of 3% (amounts vary from about 0.4% to 8%). Many of these are big name retailers you are already doing business with, such as Walmart, Best Buy, Kohls, Target, and drug stores, as well as some you may not have thought of, such as groupon, flower delivery, restaurants, rental cars, hotels, and cell phone dealers.
1. Go to igive.com and set up an account.
