coupons to donate

[cottoncandy]

I am very glad to join SC and I am very grateful to all of you SC'ers. And I also know that there are people who need our help, who need the coupons more than I do. However, I live in a small city and there is no women's shelter, or similar charity organizations, only a food bank which I don't think they take shampoos or shower gels. But I do have some good coupons for those stuff. I am willing to mail the coupons to whoever wants to help purchase or redeem the coupons and donate the products to local charity. I really want to do this before the coupons all expire (some good ones already did).

I would really appreciate it if some people are willing to help. I do know a lot of SC'ers who have donate to charites. One reason that I start this post is to initiate a post for all other people who face similar situations like me. Then we can do this together! Maybe we can find some representatives in each big city who are willing to purchase and donate. Then we can trust to mail good coupons and gift cards to them.

Here is a list of coupons I have now, I will add more if I get them. Once the coupon expires, I will delete it. Once the coupon is mailed to someone, I will let people know who I mailed it too. It would be great if the person who gets those coupons could put up a picture of whatever are purchased and donated afterwards. Please PM me your mailing address if you are in. Thanks a lot!

That is very nice of you. I love helping families in need too.

I would like to participate, I would love to start donating to the local shelter here, just waiting until I get some more products

I dropped some stuff off at the humane society with my son the other day and he was very happy afterwards!....

Let me know if you would like MY help, I am a trusted SC member ... I think

thanks to all of you who want to help. It feels great to help those people who need help most. Donating to charity will be a long term and periodic job. Let do this together all through the year!

thanks everyone. I have mailed the letters to 4 of you this afternoon. Hope they arrive safely soon. Heehee!
I wrote down the names after the coupon by my memory, so there could be mistakes. If any, please blame me. I kinda got out home in a hurry. But writing down the names is just to let people know the coupons are gone.

And big thanks to nv_jenn! Thanks for your information about the women's shelter in my city. I think I can do my part of job soon. Maybe tomorrow? good!

thanks - I updated on my Women's shelter thread as I couldn't find this one back at the time

[cottoncandy]

no problem, thank you! I went to my local women's shelter the other day too. Haven't figured out how to put a picture. May do it later.

Just wanted to let you know that the food bank will usually take health and beauty products as well. My local food bank does a basket up for the women leaving the womens shelter. They put thing like shampoo, soap, shaving cream, etc. in the basket. My son is volunteering at the local food bank to get his community hours for high school, so on Thursday I had him take in 18 bottles of Olay body wash (used 6 Olay $10 coupons), 2 Stayfree pads (used 2X $2 printed ones, and got my 2000 SDM bonus points, so they were free), 11 cans of shaving cream (used 11X $2 Satin Care save.ca coupons), and 2 bottles of Soft Soap refills (they were on for $.89 at No Frills last week). I am just wating for more Olay coupons to come from trades, and I will be buying more of the soap and body wash before they expire. If anyone would like to help me out and trade with me for Olay (no soap exclusion), or Satin Care, please PM me.

thanks anner2050, for both your information and kindness. I will also try my best to help the charity organizations in my city as well as in other places. I would like to remind of myself this is an ongoing project, not just for once or just on holidays. ^_^
