Couponing for a Cause: Help for Joplin!

A few weeks ago, I posted about Couponing for a Cause.  Since I started using coupons seriously about four years ago, it has blessed our lives because we’ve been able to cut our grocery budget significantly, but it has also allowed us to bless the lives of others through donations.  I have sat and watched the footage of Joplin and my heart aches for the people there.  I want to help and I’m so happy that I’ve found a way to help!  On Facebook, there is a Joplin, MO Tornado Recovery page here.  Yesterday someone posted a link to a spreadsheet of drop-off locations for donations.  I was THRILLED to see there is a location here in Texas!  Our family will be getting together toiletries, batteries, clothing, and toys to donate.  I think this will be a great learning experience for my kids.  To find drop-off locations for donations in your area or to get other ideas about how you can help, check out the spreadsheet here. I’d love to see pictures or hear about what your families are doing to help with relief efforts in Joplin!

If you are new to couponing, this is a good list to help you figure out what items you should be adding to your stockpile.  If you’ve been couponing for awhile and are ready to start sharing with others, this is a great list to help you figure out what to donate this week!
