Support

---

If you like my writing and want to support the work I do, then please consider supporting the nonprofit that I work for — The North End Community Improvement Collaborative — in the following ways: 

If you’re a regular Amazon user, you can support us by making your  purchases via Amazon Smile. This is Amazon’s corporate giving program in  which the company donates 0.5% of eligible purchases you make to a  charity of your choice (the price you pay for your purchases remains the  same). Sure, 0.5% isn’t much in isolation, but when added up over thousands of users and millions of purchases a day, it can become a huge sum of money.

Please clcik the button below to learn how to use Amazon Smile and make sure to choose The North End Community Improvement Collaborative as the charity you want to donate to. 

If you live in the U.S. and frequently shop at the Kroger, you can use the Kroger Community Rewards program to support us. All you need is a Kroger Plus Card and Kroger account, and then simply sign up for the program by clicking the button below (choose “I’m a customer”). 

Similar to the Amazon Smile program, if you enroll for Kroger Community  Rewards then the company will donate a percentage of your purchases  (without any extra cost to you) to a charity of your choice. Again, just  choose The North End Community Improvement Collaborative (in Mansfield, Ohio) as the charity you want to donate to. 

Or you can skip all this and simply give us a financial donation! Visit our website here and click “Donate” at the top left corner of the screen to donate (you can also choose to become a monthly donor). 

This isn't related to my work, but I'm a big advocate for the United States Digital Service (USDS). If you and someone you know is a tech expert and, most importantly, wants to put his services to use for the greater good (like helping veterans get their benefits) instead of figuring out how to get people to scroll on Facebook for 10 more minutes, check out this fantastic initiative!

Thank you for all your support!
