A Super Simple Way To Give Back This Holiday Season

It is officially Christmas time!

The Christmas tree at Rockefeller is lit, the streets are crazy busy, the decorations are (almost) done–my favorite time of year is here!

With all of the gift giving it is important to give to charitable donations as well. Amazon is now allowing you to donate toys by simple uttering a phrase. Not only will you donate a toy to a child in need, you will be apart of a greater plan that Amazon has put together that matches your donation!

Amazon kicked off Giving Tuesday by launching a new, easy way for customers to donate a toy to a child in need. Customers can now donate a toy to Toys for Tots via Alexa by simply saying, “Alexa, donate to Toys for Tots.” This is the first time that customers can donate a product to a charity via voice shopping and better yet, Amazon will be matching customer donations throughout the end of the year – toy for toy – doubling customers’ contributions!

So how can you give back this holiday season??
