Join Us at ShopForMuseums.com

There is a great website out there called ShopForMuseums.com who has made connections with hundreds of on-line retailers who make a donation on a museum's behalf each time you make a purchase through the ShopForMuseums website.

Here's how it works:

1. Go to www.shopformuseums.com
2. Register for a free account
   
3. Under "Search Stores" enter the name of the museum you'd like to support (which is, of course, "Giles County Historical Society")
4. You can then either "Search Stores" with the name of your favorite on-line store, or "View All Stores" to see what stores are available. There's everything there from 1-800-PetMeds to Advanced Auto Parts to Amazon.com to iTunes to JoAnn's Fabrics to OfficeMax.
5. The store listing shows how much each store will donate to the museum of your choice (which is, of course, Giles County Historical Society). Donations vary from 1% of the cost of your purchase to 25% depending on the store! A donation is made to the Virginia Association of Museums as well.

So this holiday season, ShopForMuseums.com and let your favorite retailers make a donation to your favorite museum (which is, of course, Giles County Historical Society!)
