How do you make an Alternative Gift? Write a check to JPC and put "Alt Gift" in the memo line. Your contribution will be divided equally between the organiztions. If you would prefer to designate one specific organization as the recipient of your gift, add that organization to the memo line ("Alt Gift - organization name"), and we will do that.

Please contact the church office if you have any questions.
