Coupon for good!

Well. When I intially started couponing I have to admit it was for selfish reasons. I had quit my job to stay home with Owen and money is now a bit tighter. I thought it would be one way to 'beef-up' our stock/supply and something I could do to help out. Even though it has definitely helped us out personally, I am beginning to realize how much I am getting for free that I am able to donate to others! I now keep a paper bag going in the garage that I put items into for the Hope Center. It is so fun to see what I can find for super cheap or free that I know they can use and/or really need!

So.....I challenge you to do the same! :) Use your coupons for good....for yourself...and for others! Listed below are items that are ALWAYS needed at the Hope Center (Or any food pantry for that matter). So, start clipping those coupons....and looking for deals!

-any canned good containing meat (soups, pastas, chunk chicken, chunk tuna, etc.)
-canned fruit (of course canned veggies too....but fruit is harder to get donated!)
-shampoos/conditioners
-soap
-deoderants
-toothbrushes
-toothpaste
-feminine hygiene items
-baby diapers

Thank you guys! My dream is that we can make a difference together in our community by using our coupons/resources wisely! :)
