couponing for the foodbank!!!

[princessd]

Hi everyone,
wanted to know if anyone in London or area would be interested in working together with me to start making large donations every month to the London food bank. With being able to get so much for free or cheap it would be great to be able to donate more then I do already. Let me know what your guys and gals think. Maybe even collecting at our trade days???

[NickiB]

I think collecting at the trade days is a FANTASTIC idea! Every time I head down to my stockpile, I think, Wow, I really have a lot of this... Good way to keep the stock fresh, and help out those less fortunate. Great idea Princessd!

I don't mind offering up coupons towards this effort.

i'm in.Wife and I have been talking about where it ends....... deals, stockpiling etc. I like this and I like it alot. Don't think we need to stop at the food bank though. There is also men's mission and a host of womens shelters for when we have those real cheap deoderant, laundry soap, body wash etc.

[MrsSunshine]

keep in mind.. mini sizes of stuff are very much needed (shampoos etc).. as well as diapers/wipes, soap, razors.. you can call and ask them they will tell what they need exactly.

Anyone have a mansion or storage space that we can get this going. lol

• individually packaged healthy snack foods

It could be helpful to find out if the food bank does accept items that relate to special dietary needs i.e. diabetes, vegetarian (lentils, pulses) in case your coupons supply can cover them too.

Love this idea, I love to give anything that I can.. I get more excited to shop for things that others need then what we need in our own home. I've known many women and men that have been in the shelters and they are very grateful to what is being donated as this helps them to re-build stuff for when there ready to take life on again.

I have been using my upstairs dining room for the food bank and women shelter donations that we do every month. I go with my husband and daughter and drop off at the food bank each other. Sometimes we have items that need to be frozen or fresh produce (like the 10 pound potato bags a while back that were B1G1free) They loved us that day!

I just got in my flyers a curbside food drive thing that is being picked up from the 10th to the 18th of June. All you have to do is fill a bag and put it out by the curb on recycling day with a bright ribbon or the paper on it

[amanda4]

I'm in. I make monthly donations too. I have quite a bit of stuff. I have a massive stockpile room in my basement. That's where I put all my stuff!!

Including the Iron maiden and all the whips and chains....... It's a dungeon down there. Trust me I've seen it.

I would love to participate in this any way I can. Also, I do have a decent storage space in my basement that I am willing to share for this idea. However, it is only good enough for non perishable food. I live near Highburry & Huron.

Liar liar!!
