What is Amazon Smile?

Amazon Smile, a separate portal from Amazon's main site, offers the same items, prices, and benefits as Amazon.com, but with one difference.

 

When you shop on Amazon Smile, the retailer's foundation contributes 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charity of your choice.

 

Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible Amazon Smile purchases to Peaceful Paths. 

Amazon Smile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service.

Pop Up Thrift Store: Our Pop Up Thrift Store (Pre-Covid), is held 3-4 times per year and we sell surplus new and gently used donations after all client needs have been served. Great POP Up donations are items such as home decor, sporting goods, children's items, automotive, craft supplies, small furniture, holiday decor, etc. We don't sell clothing at POP UP unless new.
