Here in the greater Lansdale area, NorthPennUnderTen has teamed up with Mama Cheaps to encourage local participation in the national “Couponing for Community” drive Sunday, May 8th through Saturday, May 14th.
As you read in the last post, we are collecting 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!
So, grab those donations and 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!
PS - MamaCheaps brought up an excellent point recently: Want to participate, but don't live in the North Penn area? No problem! We encourage ALL of our readers – near and far – to use this week to drop off a few items to YOUR local charity of choice. Don’t forget – you can even participate without leaving home – 5/14 is National Stamp Out Hunger Day… leave a bag of non-perishable goods out with our mail – your postal carrier will take your donation and it will go to a local charity near you!
