Archive How to Make a Virtual Donation
There are a couple of ways to make a Share the Plate donation during this time of virtual services. While you are online during or after the service, you can click on the Donate Now button under the picture of the basket and you will be taken to a list of choices for donations. Scroll down to the one that says Share the Plate. You will find boxes in which you can enter the amount, name of the cause, and the date. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit “Continue.” You will be taken to a page where you can enter your payment information.
A slightly different way can be found on the home page of the church website: scroll down to the button on the right that says “Donate Now” (no basket). If you hit that button, you will follow the same process.
You can also send a check made payable to C3HUU with the name of the cause in the memo line. Mail the check to Dana Lundquist at 106 Purefoy Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
