The Holiday Season is Here!

I cannot believe that the holiday season began on Friday! I’m already excited for the family time, gifts, food, and cheer that go along with it. Did you start shopping yet? I am all about online shopping this year. The Greater Chicago chapter has an online store and we have a holiday sale! If you’re looking for a great stocking stuffer for someone in your family, a babysitter, or your pet, check out the Red Cross first aid kits that are offered at 10% off during December and include free shipping. Visit our online store here.

While this holiday season will be a tough year for giving, you can help out the Red Cross of Greater Chicago by just doing your regular online shopping. GoodShop, a part of GoodSearch.com, allows you to pick a nonprofit to support before you shop online at popular retailers like Target, Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and over 700 more stores. A percentage of your total purchase amount will be given to the charity you chose at no extra cost to you. Click on the image to the right to visit the GoodSearch site.

If you’re not a big online shopping fan, you can use GoodSearch.com, powered by Yahoo!, when you need to find something online. Every time you search, a penny is donated to the cause of your choice.

We’re listed on GoodSearch as “American Red Cross – Greater Chicago.” We’re all about the shopping and searching this year. Tell your friends and get the word out about the great benefits of GoodSearch!
