CartForGood turns everyday purchases into contributions for good causes at no extra cost to you. Tap any store in the app, shop normally on the retailer's website, and the store shares a small commission with us. We contribute a portion to support causes every month. You pay nothing extra. The price you see is always the same price you pay. Every month, CartForGood contributes to a featured cause. Three months are permanently reserved for causes that are important to our community: - November: Feeding America, fighting hunger in communities across the country. - December: Toys for Tots, bringing joy to children in need during the holiday season. All other months, the CartForGood community spins a support wheel live on social media on the first of the month. Two wheels spin: one for national causes and one for local community organizations. Every spin is broadcast live on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Every contribution is public. Every receipt is posted on our website at CartForGood.com every single month without exception. You can see exactly how much was earned by each store and exactly how much was contributed. Transparent, honest, and fully accountable. Available stores include Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Chewy, Wayfair, Etsy, and eBay. More stores are added regularly. Most people send billions of dollars in business to retailers every year and get nothing back. Bloggers, influencers, and big websites collect those commissions for themselves. CartForGood takes that same commission and shares it to support good causes every month. You were going to shop anyway. The retailer was going to pay someone anyway. We just made sure that someone gives back. CartForGood requires no account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Available in English and Spanish. Shop normal. Help others.

The call

Fred Meyer's advantage is ratings volume (145K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
