 Here is how you can help on May 12:
1) Collect and bag non-perishable food items.
2) Place them by your mailbox for your letter carrier to docate for your local pantry or foodbank.

Couponing for Community is Helping Fight Hunger

Have you heard of Couponing for Community?  

They are a  nationwide event utilizing the power of couponing and social media to make a united impact for those in need.  They are asking people to use their couponing skills to give to a homeless shelter, food pantry, or a friend in need during the week of May 6-12!

What is the Goal?

This year they are setting a BIG goal for the number of items donated in one week's time.  They invite people to track their progress in  giving during the week of May 6-12 and then come back to the Facebook page to share their story.  They'll even have a giving tracker to tally up everyone's efforts!!

How Our Program Works

We take donated coupons and use them to purchase products for the food pantry at a discounted price. Many times using grocery stores which double coupons we can get items for free or close to free.
By sending us your coupons, we are able to purchase more food and personal care items to help the pantry. Coupons for personal care items (example: toothpaste or soap) are extremely helpful because out clients cannot purchase these items with food stamps.

Please see our wish list of coupons needed the most.  http://www.coupons4foodpantries.org/Coupons.aspx

We prefer that you send us your coupons already clipped. This saves on volunteer time. If you are unable to clip the coupons we can do the clipping.
