GIFT CARDS
One way to support our cause is through in-kind donations of goods. We do not have a large storage area so Visa gift cards or store gift cards (like the samples from Walmart and Target) would be ideal for purchasing arts & crafts supplies as needed.  Also cards from Staples or Office Max to purchase copying services, ink and paper for printing flyers and communications to send home to our parents. Even gas gift cards that can be used to off-set the cost of fuel for trips would be great.

What if you could help Adult & Children Enterprises earn a penny every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can! GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

           GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you’ll be supporting your favorite cause.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Adult and Children Enterprises as the charity you want to support. And, be sure to spread the word!

CORPORATE GIVING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH:

Adult & Children Enterprises Executive Director shown accepting donation from Store No. 5292 New Bern Avenue Wal-Mart's management.

Giving back to the community has always been a top priority for Wal-Mart. In 2007 they donated more than $296 million to charitable organizations benefiting thousands of communities across the United States.

Wal-Mart associates and customers generously contributed an additional $106 million through company-sponsored programs. When combined with international donations, Wal-Mart’s global contributions totaled more than $470 million.

For the past two years, Wal-Mart has been recognized as the largest corporate cash contributor by Chronicle of Philanthropy. In addition to their individual donations, Wal-Mart associates volunteered more than 1 million hours to causes of their own choosing. In support of their dedication, the Foundation matched associates’ volunteer hours with $6 million in grants.

“We continue to be amazed at our associates’ dedication to give back to their local communities,” said Margaret McKenna. And through our Volunteerism Always Pays program, we are pleased to back-up their volunteer activities with grants from the Wal-Mart Foundation.”
