I have also started gathering non-perishable food items that I will put out for donation on Saturday for the Stamp Out Hunger campaign through the U.S. Postal Service.

Lastly, I went through all of the clothes that my daughter has outgrown and I will make a trip to Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services to donate the gently used clothing.

Couponing for Community: May 2-8

If your pantry looks like mine, I am sure that you have a few non-perishable items that you can part with. I want to let you know about a great campaign started by a fellow blogger, Kaley of Cha-Ching on a Shoestring, called Couponing for Community.

During the week of May 2-8, Kaley is asking that we all do our part for our community by giving away part of our "stockpile" to those who are in need. If you are interested in participating there are a few things that you can do:

• Visit the Couponing for Community fan page on facebook and click "attend"
• Decide where you would like to donate your non-perishable items and gather together your extra non-perishable items
• Kaley would like to know all about your donations, so visit the facebook fan page and provide pictures, links, comments, etc.
• Finally, on May 8th, Kaley will have a Mr. Linky up where you can leave a comment about how you were able to give!

If you are like me, you probably also have some extra beauty/personal hygiene items. I am planning to donate these items to The Gospel Rescue Mission in Tucson. I would encourage you to find an organization to donate these items to as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!
