Supporting Our Community Even When You Can’t Shop Local.

Shopping local is what drives the economy and way of life here in our small towns. Small business owners are the life blood of Keokuk and all the surrounding Tri-State area. However we all know living in a small town, it can sometime be hard if not impossible to find that certain item without shopping online. Now, when you do have to utilize Amazon, you can do it and still give back to your community.

Unity Point Health is a part of AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. The Keokuk Area Hospital Foundation is one of those choices.

Utilizing this service is quite easy. Using your web browser on your device (AmazonSmile currently is not accessible on the mobile app) go to www.smile.amazon.com. This will bring you to the usual Amazon site, however at the top of the screen users will see the option to add the charitable foundation of their choice. Entering “Keokuk Area Hospital Foundation” will then set your purchases to donate to that cause.

Shop Local first. When you can’t, one click, and you can still give back to your community.
