Who else is excited for Amazon Prime Day?? This year Prime Day will take place on Tuesday, October 13th and Wednesday, October 14th. Two fun-filled days of online shopping and huge savings!

You can make a difference while you shop Amazon Prime Day deals on October 13 & 14. Simply shop at smile.amazon.com/ch/52-0704473 or with AmazonSmile ON in the Amazon Shopping app and AmazonSmile donates to The Hope Center at Hagerstown Rescue Mission.

AmazonSmile is Amazon’s way of giving back. Just log into your Amazon account on AmazonSmile and select ‘The Hope Center at Hagerstown Rescue Mission’ as your charitable organization. After that, you’re good to go! Just shop AmazonSmile like you would Amazon.

You get the same great deals and same great products but Amazon donates a portion of the proceeds to The Hope Center!

And remember to use AmazonSmile as you shop for everyone on your Christmas list this holiday season! Let your loved ones know that their gift bought on Amazon also helped take care of people in need in their community.

Happy Prime Day!

Sugar and Spice…

And everything nice…

Well maybe just the sugar because SUGAR is the featured Pantry Item of the Month for September!!

We’re asking for any donation of bags of sugar for the month of September. But to be honest, we’re always in need of sugar at The Hope Center. From the multiple uses in our kitchen to the sweetner for all those cups of coffee we use, sugar is one of our staple items that we often run low on.

To donate bags of sugar please bring to our Administrative Office during business hours M-F or call/email us to set up a time that works with your schedule.

If you’d prefer shopping online at AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com) or another retailer please use 125 N. Prospect St, Hagerstown, MD 21740 for our delivery address.

Also, please help us spread the word about our pantry needs by encouraging your church, coworkers, social media, family, friends, neighbors and others to join you in donating. If you or someone you know is interested in hosting a food drive then be sure to add sugar to the list of needed items.

Hey Amazon shoppers, what if there was a way for you to shop at Amazon PLUS donate to The Hope Center?

Guess what? There is! Thanks to AmazonSmile you are able to enjoy the same great low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon with a charitable twist. For eligible purchases made at AmazonSmile, Amazon will donate .05% of your purchase to The Hope Center.

Amazon Smile 1

Simply go to http://smile.amazon.com to get started. Once at AmazonSmile just search for Hope Center Hagerstown in the charitable organizations search bar and then select Hope Center at Hagerstown Rescue Mission as your organization of choice. Then start shopping!

If you already have an Amazon account then you can log in to AmazonSmile the same as Amazon. You’ll find that both websites are identical and offer the same products but at AmazonSmile your purchase is going to help fund the various programs and services at The Hope Center.

Once you’ve chosen The Hope Center just remember to shop from AmazonSmile. Purchases made at Amazon do not go towards charitable donations. Only purchases made from AmazonSmile will benefit The Hope Center.

Amazon made shopping online easy and now they’re helping to make giving back easy too. Your purchases on AmazonSmile will help to provide shelter, food, safety, rehabilitation and more to thousands of people in the greater Hagerstown area. So please remember AmazonSmile and The Hope Center as you do your online shopping.
