Donate to the GAF while getting your groceries at no additional cost

GAF

The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to making Leisure World a better place to live.

The GAF must fund raise throughout the year to continue providing services to the community. There are now two simple ways for LWers to donate to the GAF without any additional cost.

Shareholders can donate to the GAF during their weekly grocery shopping trip without having to spend more money, thanks to the Ralphs Rewards Program.

Ralphs announced that it is committed to giving over $2 million through its Community Contributions program. By simply signing up and through regular grocery shopping, people can help GAF recieve a portion of those funds.

Those interested can sign up for the Ralphs Rewards program by phone or through the Ralphs website. To sign up online, go to www. ralphs.com. A Ralphs Reward card number or the phone number associated with the account is required.

To register over the phone, call (800) 443-4438. Make sure to say GAF’s non-profit organization (NPO) number, FS 519, during registration.

•••• Another way LWers can help GAF while they shop is through www.smile.amazon.com. Amazon Smile is a charitable award program funded through Amazon for qualified nonprofit organizations like the GAF. A small percentage of every purchase will go to the GAF at no additonal cost.

When enrolling in Amazon Smile, make sure to choose your charitable organization as the Golden Age Foundation Seal Beach. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to get started with Amazon Smile: 1. Sign in to an existing Amazon account. Those who don’t have an Amazon account can create one for free.

2. Type Golden Age Foundation Inc. as the charity to support.

Make sure the location is set in Seal Beach, California.

3. Go to www.smileamazon.com for every purchase to donate.
