Moneyless Donating
-Donate to the Broome County Council of Churches by shopping online through www.iGive.com. When you choose the Broome County Council of Churches as your cause and shop through iGive, a portion of your purchases will be donated to the Council of Churches. Over 500 stores are connected with iGive, probably the ones you regularly shop with online. Check it out.
-Another innovative way to donate is by using the Yahoo based search engine through www.goodsearch.com. Every time you search for something using GoodSearch a small amount is donated to the Council of Churches when you choose us as a beneficiary.
