One of the reasons I love to coupon is to spend less, so we can give more!  I was really inspired when I saw the page for Couponing for Community!  Here’s a little bit about them taken from their Facebook page:

“Couponing for Community is a nationwide event utilizing the power of couponing and social media to make a united impact for those in need.

This is where Saving and Giving Unite.

We invite you to join this community 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!

What is the Goal?
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 come back here to share your story. We’ll even have a giving tracker to tally up everyone’s efforts!!”

Just think — if all of us here at Motherhood on a Dime got together and donated a few things each, we could reach the 10,000 goal — there have already been over 4,000 items donated! 

Here’s how to do it:

• Like the Couponing for Community Facebook page.
• Donate items to those in need in your community from May 8-14.
• Enter the number of items you donated over at the Couponing for Community page!

If you do it, I’d love to hear about it!!  I’m getting my bag of donations ready!!
