Couponing 4 Community: Final Tally & Thank You!!

365.

That's no longer simply the number of days in a year... Its the number of items that YOU all donated to Community Housing Services (CHS) in Lansdale this week! In one mere week, you wonderful citizens of the North Penn region donated enough items for Community Housing to fulfill a need per day...for an entire year!!


MamaCheaps founder, Devon, and I delivered the goods to CHS this morning and were greeted with smiles, "thank you"s and...a bit of shock! Volunteers efficiently stocked the shelves with the bounty of pasta, baking mixes, canned foods, and other non-perishables. The personal care items presented a bit more of a challenge. "We'll have to store some of this in someone's office," they concluded after sizing up the bag after bag of toothbrushes, soaps, razors and more. Wow!

In the words of my two-year-old's current idol, Barney, "'People helping other people is what this world's about. And the people who are helping other people we couldn't do without." Those people are YOU!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, for the goodness you have spread in our community!!

We are in awe!
