AMAZON SMILE PROGRAM
Discontinued Online shopping
NEWS for SEF’s Amazon Smile Supporters: SEF has been notified by Amazon that the AmazonSmile program is being phased out (as of 2/20/23). Amazon is making an effort to focus their philanthropic efforts in the communities where their employees live and work. SEF has benefited over the past few years from the program (thanks to supporters like you) and will miss the donation but we wish Amazon success in their new direction.
