A simple way to support the Synod Women's Organization
Amazon Smile is a simple and automatic way for you to support SWO every time you shop at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you will find the exact same low prices and convenient shopping as Amazon.com with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to SWO. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. You can use your same account as Amazon.com. On your first visit to smile.Amazon.com, you need to indicate Northwest Synod of Wisconsin Synodical Women’s Organization as your charitable organization before you begin shopping. Then AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of your purchase price of eligible AmazonSmile purchases to our SWO account.
Justice Update -
The board established a focus on anti-racism awareness which includes:
- anti-racism awareness which includes educating ourselves to see everything through an anti-racist lens.
- Accompaniment - where women of European decent walk in solidarity with BIPOC (black, indigenous and people of color) in the struggle for racial equity by developing authentic relationships.
- Advocacy which is living out our Lutheran belief that governments can help advance the common good, focusing specifically on antiracism issues.
