iGive E-Shopping

Shopping on-line can reduce the gas used to run to many stores. There's the shipping, but it's a lot more like public transportation for your package versus just you in a whole car. Buying locally made items can save on both and keep your money in your community.

If you do shop on-line, here's a great way to contribute to your favorite charity or non-profit, that doesn't cost you a thing! The service at I Give allows you to "shop-and-give" at over 400 retailers. And these aren't just offbeat little shops - we're talking Expedia, Amazon, Eddie Bauer, Lands' End, Office Depot, Best Buy and hundreds of other great sites.

If you'd like to direct the discount to SOS, go to www.igive.com/html/refer.cfm?causeid=21781. Or go to their home page to direct your discount to whomever you specify. It costs you nothing and sign-up is a snap. We have test-run this ourselves for several years, and other than remembering to uncheck the ubiquitous "let us send you advertisements" box, it's hassle-free.

Support SOS

Besides following the Life Requirements Checklist, or volunteering your time for projects, you can support SOS by making financial contributions or donations of skills or materials.

SOS is a 501(c)(3) organization; your gifts are tax deductible.
