Couponing for Community is Coming!

Local websites, North Penn Under Ten and Mama Cheaps, are teaming up to encourage local participation in the national “Couponing for Community” drive this Sunday, May 8^th through Saturday, May 14^th. 

"What is 'Couponing for Community'?"

“Couponing for Community” is a nationwide effort designed to utilize the power of couponing and social media to make a united impact for those in need.

As you already know, North Penn Under Ten and Mama Cheaps are dedicated to improving the lives of local BucksMont families. By joining forces, we are excited to put the use of social media, our couponing muscles, and our dedication to the community to good use!

Therefore, we are encouraging you, our readers, to help us collect non-perishable food items, toiletries and other household items for Community Housing Services of Lansdale for distribution to the 200+ low-to-moderate income families and individuals the charity assists each month. 

Whether you are a Mama Cheaps reader and plan to donate some of the freebies or deeply discounted items you've scored as a result of her tips, or whether you choose to donate an item that you paid full-price for, the end result is the same: a wonderful gift will be received by a local family in need! 

MamaCheaps says, "I started gathering my own items a few weeks ago – putting several items in the box each time I come home from a couponing adventure (or get a freebie in the mail that I know I won’t use). I am up to about 55 items so far!" (This lady knows how to shop!!)

"So, how can I participate? "

First, take a peek at your pantry or a glimpse at your garage. Are there "bonus buy" packs of paper towels and "econo-packs" of canned foods? Would you really notice if you donated one of each? How about all those free samples and travel-sized goodies? Are you really going to use all of those soaps?! J (For more suggestions of needed items, look here.)

Next, beginning Sunday and continuing throughout next week, stop by the Lansdale Public Library, the North Wales Area Library, or the Lansdale branch of the North Penn YMCA to drop your items in the bin marked "Couponing for Community".

Once the week has ended, North Penn Under Ten and Mama Cheaps representatives will collect, count and deliver the goods to Community Housing Services and update you on our community's total achievement.

We thank you for joining us in this exciting and worthwhile event! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
