Support the Historical Society while you shop

There are now two easy (and free) ways that you can help support the Historical Society while you shop. The money we raise through these programs is used entirely for our preservation efforts to protect San Clemente’s historical and cultural heritage.

Ralph’s

 

At Ralphs Supermarkets in San Clemente, you can direct a portion of your bill to be donated to The San Clemente Historical Society at no cost to you. As a participant in Ralphs Community Contributions Program, the supermarket chain will automatically contribute a portion of your total to the San Clemente Historical Society. It's an easy way to contribute to the preservation of our town's rich history.  

How to register for the Ralphs Community Contributions Program:
1. Visit www.ralphs.com and either create a new account or sign in to your Ralphs Rewards account.
2. Click on “Welcome Valued Customer” (In the top right hand corner.) Click on “My Account.” Scroll to the bottom of your account. 
3. Link your card to the Historical Society by clicking on “Community Rewards” and typing in San Clemente Historical Society.  Then press “Search.” If you have forgotten your Ralphs Rewards Card number, you can use your phone number.
4. Once enrolled, your contributions will be automatically made by Ralphs.  You do not have to tell the check out person to do so.  You can check on the contributions you have made by accessing your account on line at www.ralphs.com.

Ralphs assures us that all of your information will kept confidential.  They will never sell, trade or rent their customers’ personal information to outside companies.  It's not even shared with us.

Between March 1 and May 31, sixteen households listed your Historical Society as the recipient of this program. It cost them nothing, and we received $93.40 to go toward our preservation efforts.

Amazon Smile

 

AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support the San Clemente Historical Society every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop with AmazonSmile, you’ll find the exact same website as Amazon with the added benefit that AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the SCHS.

How to shop with AmazonSmile:
1. Visit https://smile.amazon.com/
2. Sign in as you normally would to amazon.com
3. In the top left corner, you can click to select your charity – San Clemente Historical Society
4. Shop as you normally would! There is no cost or fee to you.

Smile.Amazon will remember whenever you shop at smile.amazon.com and then every eligible purchase you make will result in a donation for the SCHS from Amazon. Remember, you must be shopping on Smile.Amazon.com (not Amazon.com) for donations to be made! Tell your friends and family all about it; our goal is to have 100 people signed up by year’s end! If you need help with either of these programs, email us at info@sanclementehistoricalsociety.org.
