How You Can Help
CafeGive
How can you help Morrison's kids by shopping? You can do it from your computer by using CafeGive, the versatile online shopping experience that supports Morrison. Order products you would buy anyway, but earn up to 18 percent of your total for Morrison's programs! The percentage varies by store and is listed below each respective banner.
Try it out for back-to-school shopping, or your regular office supplies. Products are grouped into convenient categories. Make travel arrangements or buy gift cards that earn for Morrison. The site offers over 250 retailers, so you can find almost anything you need. CafeGive is also developing a Favorites page that will remember your business purchases, making it even easier to reorder your standard supplies.

Bequest
By naming Morrison in your will you can create a permanent source of support for children. While the bequest is the most common form of "planned gift," other options, such as gift annuities, are also available. Significant tax savings are part of the strategy for planned gifts. An estate planner or attorney can be very helpful in determining the best plan for you.

Appreciated Stock

Come to an Event
Morrison plans several special events to introduce you to our programs, and to other supporters. They’re fun - and they give you even more creative ways to participate and help.
For a list of Morrison's events, visit Special Events.
Just Being There
An hour a week. A half day every month. One day a year. Making a regular time commitment that fits your schedule can be an extraordinary asset to Morrison. Many volunteers feel they gain more than they give because of the meaningfulness of the activities - not to mention the fun of connecting to others who share your commitment to children.
