Giving back is one of the best rewards when it comes to couponing. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I gave someone something they needed for free. I do this on a regular basis with friends, family and charity so this is nothing new but it is worth mentioning. So even though it’s a regular thing I’m joining in with my fellow couponers around the USA for Couponing for Community!
How can you Help?
Use your couponing talents and give to a food bank, shelter, or friend in need during the week of May 8-14. Your level of couponing doesn’t matter, if you can spare some items I encourage you to participate.
What is the Goal?
This year we are setting a goal of 10,000 items donated in one week’s time. We invite you to track your giving during the week of May 8-14 and then come back here to share your story. We’ll even have a giving tracker to tally up everyone’s efforts!!
Why May 8-14?
We are the kind of people who find ways to give all year long. But we have chosen to set aside one week each year to ‘flex our couponing muscles’ for GOOD and show the impact we can have when we work together. We also chose this week because May 14 is national Stamp out Hunger Day, so giving can be as easy as putting a bag of non-perishable food items out by your mailbox on Saturday, May 14. Check with your local Post Office to find out if they are participating at Stamp out Hunger.
