In the spirit of giving, one great way to double up on your Christmas gift purchases is to simultaneously make contributions towards Liberty City’s programs through Amazon.
That’s right. For every Amazon purchase made through the link on the Liberty City website, 4% of that is automatically donated by Amazon straight back to Liberty City. The price is the same and you can still use your regular Amazon account, but the kickback goes to programs like Neighborly, Hurrican Sandy Relief, and Children’s Cup, to name a few.
So, the books and gifts you buy day-to-day could help to provide practical household items on the Lower East Side, sponsor kids to school in Africa, ease the hardship and devastation of those affected by Sandy in the Rockaways and extend the work of Liberty City across New York and beyond.
Before you begin your next online shop on Amazon, make sure you bookmark the Liberty City homepage, and click on their link first.
Help us spread the word! Tweet about it, post it on Facebook, and let your friends and family know they can help as well by using the link when buying from Amazon too.
Happy shopping!
