2020 Alternative Gift Market agencies with their own websites are now linked to our own CPC website here. As you read about each agency, just “click on the link” and you will automatically be sent over to the Agency Website.  Once your online donation has been made, simply come back to this AGM page (www.carmichaelpres.org; Mission and Outreach tab; Alternative Gift Market) and continue with your other agency donations. You may wish to use the November Mission Bell insert to write on and make your choices as well.  (Note:  There are two agencies where you have to mail a check directly to them, but you are welcome to send checks to any agency also.)  Please notate “CPC AGM” and category of choice on all checks or when indicated on the website.

And, remember to make a calendar reminder to send a card to each special someone, explaining the thoughtful gift you gave in their name.

Guide:  Donations of $15-$25 or more make a meaningful gift from you, and for the people to be helped.
