#DeliveringSmiles With Amazon This Holiday Season

This post is sponsored by Amazon, however all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year. I love the food, the family time, but most of all, the traditions. This time of year can be especially hard for those who are less fortunate - but, thanks to Amazon, we’re adding a new tradition in our home to help spread holiday cheer this season! We’ll now be donating to a new charity every holiday season thanks to Amazon.

Amazon is making it easier than ever to give back and deliver smiles by helping you donate to your favorite organizations through AmazonSmile, AmazonSmile Charity Lists, and donating with Alexa! This holiday season, Amazon is fulfilling hundreds of AmazonSmile Charity Lists in the US and donating millions of essential items – through product and monetary donations to more than a thousand nonprofit organizations worldwide – specifically supporting those focused on addressing homelessness and hunger in communities who have been hit hardest in 2020.The last time I checked, they had already helped donate over 215 million dollars to those in need through AmazonSmile.

AmazonSmile Charity Lists allow you to find your favorite charitable organization and purchase items on their “wish list” to have them delivered directly to their door! So no matter your budget, you can go to smile.amazon.com/charitylists and make a difference by purchasing an item that will really have an impact on the services the charity provides!

This year, we’ve chosen to directly support Save the Children, a charity founded in 1932 that helps to give children a healthy start in life and strives to support the most vulnerable, especially during times of crisis. As a mom of 2, charities that help kids are very dear to my heart. Save the Children has helped millions of children to date worldwide, and I’m so excited to be supporting them with Amazon this year!

I was able to shop directly off their AmazonSmile Charity List and purchase items such as diapers, masks, crayons, and more for the kids that need it the most. You’re able to track the progress of your shipment and see when it’s been delivered! It’s really that simple.

AmazonSmile also allows you to quickly donate a portion of your purchase from eligible products on Amazon directly to the charity of your choice – at no extra cost to you! You’re already shopping on Amazon for the holidays anyways! All you need to do is visit smile.amazon.com/holiday to browse a wide selection of holiday deals and low price items, receive fast and free delivery options, and more – with the added bonus of Amazon donating a portion of the purchase price to your selected charity.

Finally, Amazon has made it possible for even the busiest of people to make a donation to a registered charity of their choice by simply saying: “Alexa, I want to make a donation” to any Alexa-enabled device! Alexa, as always, will help handle the rest :).

With AmazonSmile, there is absolutely no reason to not give back this holiday season! I can’t wait to hear what charity you choose to support! Share how you’re paying it forward with #DeliveringSmiles.
