Like most of you, shopping for needs and essentials, especially during the current pandemic, has been a nightmare. So what do we do? We switch over to online shopping of course. There are many pros to online shopping; no long check out lines, shopping from the comfort of your home while staying safe and budget awareness. But what if I told you that you can now shop online for yourself while donating to a charity all at the same time? Mi C.A.S.A Eduction is now affilitated with AmazonSmile.

What is AmazonSmile?

AmazonSmile is an easy way for you to support Mi C.A.S.A Education Inc every time you make a purchase on Amazon, and it doesn’t cost you a penny extra! When you shop at smile.amazon.com you will see the same items, for the same prices, but Amazon donates a portion of your purchase to Mi C.A.S.A Education Inc!

How do I shop at AmazonSmile?
