It's that time again! Last year, I participated in Couponing for Community and donated over 100 items to my local food pantry. I plan to participate again this year and I hope you will join in and donate too.
Couponing for Community is an effort by couponers all over America to use the power of couponing to make a united immpact. Join this community of couponers by using your coupoing skills to give to a homeless shelter, food pantry or a friend in need during the week of May 6-12, 2012. May 12 is also National Stamp Out Hunger Day. Giving is as easy as leaving a bag of non-perishable items by your mailbox.
In 2010, 3000 items were donated by couponers nationwide.
In 2011, 127 bloggers promoted the cause and 26,649 items were donated.
This year the goal is even bigger - the goal is 30,000 items.
Track your giving during the week of May 6-12 and then share your story and pictures on the Couponing for Community Facebook page.
To participate:
- Get all of the details on Couponing for Community Facebook page. You will also be able to see everyone who is partipating.
- As you shop over the next few weeks, set aside items to donate. Keep a tab of all items you plan to donate along with pictures.
- If you have a blog, write a post and spread the word about Couponing for Community. Then submit your post on the Join Us tab.
I already have a few items set aside that I purchased this week. Join me in Couponing for Community and lets meet the goal of 30,000 items for 2012.
