Contribute to Friendship while you Shop for Your Everyday Needs
We have identified three opportunities, detailed below, in which we would encourage you to participate:
UMC Market
UMC Market is an easy way to shop online and help Friendship at the same time. The participating online stores make donations to our church when you shop! Check it out at
There are thousands of retailers enrolled, from Autozone, to Macy’s, including hotel sites, car rental, and most anything else you can shop online for (e.g. Home Depot, Kohl’s, Holiday Inn, Hilton, Orbitz, etc.) Sign up with your e-mail or Facebook. Our listed ministry is Friendship Cincinnati, OH. If you shop online already, why not have the stores donate a percentage back to FUMC?
Kroger Community Rewards
This rewards program requires annual renewal by all participants. The annual cycle for the rewards program begins May 1 so if you have not renewed this year, please do it now.

How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select Friendship United Methodist Church, Wyoming, OH to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Amazon will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.
How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time, we may offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations to charitable organizations.
