How to Make a Virtual Donation
The best way to make a contribution to a Share the Plate cause during this time of virtual services is to make the donation on the day of the service in the “Give Now” section of the Virtual Service page. You may actually use this method for up to five days after the service. But because there is no memo line in this section, your money could be channeled to another cause if you do this after Friday of the week after the service.
Instead, if you want to give online at a later date, go to the home page of www.c3huu.org, scroll down to “Quick Links” on the bottom right side of the page. Tap “Making a Financial Commitment” and then hit “Donate.” This will take you to a page with a long list of options. After the instructions, Share the Plate is the fourth option on the page. Be sure to write the name of the cause in the space next to the amount you wish to donate.
You make also make a donation by making a check payable to C3HUU, writing STP and the cause in the memo line. Send the check to Dana Lundquist at 106 Purefoy Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
