Great Giving Vision: Couponing for Community 5/8-5/14

As I was doing a little research for my recent post about the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, I came across an interesting site on Facebook called Couponing for Community.  You know that Kristy and I recently have been convicted about giving more freely out of our overage and stockpiles. Our new post series called Grocery Gleaning was born of this vision.  Couponing for Community ties right in with this.

Started by fellow savings blogger, Cha-Ching on a Shoestring, here is her vision:

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 8-14, 2011! May 14 is also National Stamp Out Hunger day, so giving is as easy as leaving a bag of non-perishable items by your mailbox.

This year we are setting a goal of 10,000 items donated in one week’s time. We invite you to track your giving during the week of May 8-14 and then share your story on our Facebook page. We’ll even have a giving tracker to tally up everyone’s efforts!!

Check out the Couponing for Community page on Facebook and watch for our Grocery Gleaning posts.  We would love to hear how you plan on giving!
