Raise Free Money for UCP

Hi, this is Corrie!

It's the holiday season, and many of us are feeling stretched a little thin. So, I wanted to share a free (and easy) way to make a difference... without spending a dime!

Did you know that you can raise money for UCP, simply by shopping?

It's true. Simply select "UCP Oregon" as your charity via Amazon's Smile program, and then use www.smile.amazon.com as your starting point whenever you shop on Amazon. We’ll get a donation every time you shop.

You can raise free money at Fred Meyer's, too!

I've personally raised $61.39 for UCP. ​It feels great knowing I'm making a difference all year long.
