Thanks to Moms Affiliate and Giving Assistant for sponsoring today’s conversation.  As always, all opinions are my own.

You all know what a huge fan I am of all things goodness and giving – just like so many of you!  That’s why I am so excited to share with you a new tool for simplified giving that is so easy, you can practically set it and forget it, once you get it set up.  Giving Assistant is a simple, free & secure cash back community for shopping responsibly.

I visited the Kohl’s store page to get 4% cash back and I was able to choose between cash back directly to my debit card or designating my favorite charitable organization to benefit from my purchase. If Kohl’s is not your favorite store, you can pick a cashback store like Lowes or Home Depot, from one of 1k+ found here: givingassistant.org/cashback-stores.  I didn’t give or keep 100% of my cash back, but rather chose a percentage between 0% to 100%.  Giving Assistant uses Stripe for processing, so your information is very secure and never sold to 3rd parties.

Two of my favorite features about Giving Assistant are the ability to get cash back directly to your debit card, in days rather than weeks and months like other cash back loyalty sites – with no minimum amount either!  I also appreciate the practical side like how all shopping & cash back data is displayed in full transparency and there is a 24 hour response time if you have any questions on your cash back amount.

But what I really love most about Giving Assistant is that for each coupon used, they donate a meal to a needy family in America through the wonderful work of the nonprofit, Feeding America!  Have you ever heard of such a simple, streamlined way to help the hungry?  Me neither!  I’m in love and won’t look back now that I know about Giving Assistant! To date, there have been 30,437 meals donated through ordinary people like you and me simply going about our daily online activities — so easy you really can’t not get involved!

Consider partnering with Giving Assistant to help change the world for the better, all without leaving the comfort of your couch?  I know my family and I can’t help but jump on this win-win opportunity and hope you’ll join us!  Now on to the Make A Difference Mondays linkup!

Make A Difference Mondays is a weekly linkup designed to encourage and inspire us to live each day on purpose by making a meaningful difference in someone’s life in even the smallest of ways. Read on to learn more about our vision, mission, and how to link up!

Mission
Our mission is to provide a consistent gathering place for like-minded women to build online connections, share inspiration, and provide mutual encouragement and accountability as we seek to live intentionally and make a difference in the lives of those around us.

Vision
Every Monday we will invite bloggers to link up any blog post that encourages women to live life on purpose. This could include testimonies or goals from your own life, small acts of kindness or service, creative tips or ideas for showing consideration to others — the possibilities are endless. Our objective is to use our God-given time and resources to His glory!

Also, just a heads-up:  we have created two fun new ways to keep us all connected! Now we have our own Facebook community group to stay in touch beyond the blog posts AND we also have a new #MADMlinkup group Pinterest board and we will be pinning our favorite posts from the linkup that inspire and encourage us to make a difference. We are so grateful for you and would love for all of you to join us for fellowship in the above linked community group and you can follow the Pinterest board right here to watch for your posts:
