I am starting a new challenge here at Friend Family Savings.  It’s called Couponing-2-Give and I want everyone to be involved!  This is a simple way to help others in our own communities.  Here is the plan:

1. Buy TWO extra items per week (non-perishables, toiletries, baby products etc)
2. Place your items in a donation box or bag in your home
3. Every few months, take your box of donations to your local homeless shelter, food bank, church etc
4. At the end of the year, you will have donated 104 items!

If 10 people commit to this challenge, that is 1,040 items we will donate by the end of the year.  If 100 people commit, that makes it 10,400 items!  Each of us can make a huge impact with just two donations per week!

Each week I will give you some donation item ideas based on weekly ad sales and coupon match-ups.  All you need to do is gather your coupons and head to the store!  This is also a great thing to get your kids involved in.  Have them decorate your donation box, go with you to drop off your donations or maybe even contribute their pennies to help!

Please consider Couponing-2-Give!
