DONATE

Your donations make a difference! Any amount that you are able to give is welcome and put to good use in CPR communities.

Two ways to donate, whichever is easier for you:

1.  Write a check to St. Michael's Guatemala Project and put "donation" in the memo line.  You may send it to the church office (presently mostly not open except for the "essential" task of handing out food bags to the needy M-W-F mornings), 602 N. Wilmot Road, Tucson, 85711; or send it care of Ila Abernathy, Coordinator, at her home address, 1343 N. Fifth Avenue, Tucson, AZ  85705.

2.  Go to the church website, http://www.smallangelstucson.org, click on "Donate," and choose PayPal or use a debit or credit card, making sure you designate the donation to St. Michael's Guatemala Project.   If you use PayPal, there is a small fee. All you donation money goes to the Project. St. Michael's does not take a percentage.
