Direct Deposit Makes Donating Easy
Council of Churches (CCO) offers direct deposits as a quick, easy, time saving way of continuing your financial support to CCO. This allows you to specify an amount to be transferred automatically from your account into the CCO account each month.

Direct payments are authorized by you, in the amount you designate. It takes one short form to allow your bank to transfer the money to the CCO bank. You also are able to change your contribution by simply notifying the bank in writing. Direct payments are dependable, flexible, convenient and easy. To take advantage of this, please contact us at 417.862.3586 and we will send you the authorization form.

Corporate Partnerships
Many businesses are committed to giving back to the community. Arrange for your business to invest in this community as a sponsor for an event or to donate a valuable item for auction. Your donation is tax deductable. You can get your employees involved as well by letting them volunteer at one of the operating agencies and receive pay for the day or by donating food or cash for a casual dress day.
