So what is Couponing for Community?
Couponing for Community is an effort by couponers all over America to use the power of couponing to make a united impact. We invite you to join this community of couponers by using your couponing 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, so giving is as easy as leaving a bag of non-perishable items by your mailbox. (Look for a bag in your mailbox)
What is this year’s goal?
•In 2010, well over 3,000 items were donated by couponers nation-wide in one week’s time.
•In 2011, 127 bloggers promoted the cause and 26,639 items were donated during our Couponing for Community event.
So this year we are setting our goal even BIGGER then ever:
•In 2012, our goal is to join together to give 30,000 items in one week’s time. We simply invite you to track your giving during the week of May 6-12 and then share your story and pictures on our Facebook page. We’ll even have a giving tracker to tally up everyone’s efforts!!
What can you do now?
•First, head on over and Like Couponing for Community on Facebook! That will help keep you up to date on the details of the upcoming event and give you a place to connect with all of the other participating!
•Second, as you shop over the next few weeks, begin to set aside items that you can donate during the week of May 6-12.

If you are in the Florence, Alabama area I want to tell you about a great ministry that is in need of your help!
For a while, we are going to do “Saving to Serve” a little different. We are adding so many new stores, it is near impossible for me to do a new list every week. I do however post the “Best Deals” at the top of most of the ads. I encourage you every week to set aside $5 to pick a few items from that category to donate. In case you haven’t noticed the “Best Deals” here is a picture of what it looks like:
