A Way to Help Our Troops with COUPONS!!!

I found out last night that there is a way to help military families with good and even expired coupons. What neat idea! So here's the deal, people. Start clipping ALL you coupons.  The ones that you know you won't use,  put them into a pile.  As you go through your binders and are cleaning out all your expired coupons, save them and don't throw them away! If you want, you can give all these coupons to me or you can mail them off directly to the group that is doing this.
But first a few guidelines for the coupons they accept. This is directly from their website: (you can see the site yourself at http://www.couponcabin.com/troopons/)


Coupons we can use:

  • Save 'em whether they're active or expired! We’ll send both.
  • Only manufacturer’s coupons can be used.
  • They can be from the newspaper, dispensers in grocery stores, tear-pads, and elsewhere, as long as they state "Manufacturer's Coupon" on them.
  • The most important coupons our troops need are for food supplies.
  • Baby supplies are 2nd priority, though common household goods help troops, too.

Coupons we unfortunately can't use:

  • No assistance vouchers.
  • No food stamps or the like.
  • No store coupons. For example, we can’t use store coupons like Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Walgreens, etc.
  • No restaurant coupons.
  • No coupons that have been printed from the Internet.
Oh yeah, and they will take coupons that have expired for up to three months of the expiration date!

Active and expired coupons are sent to different address.
Active coupons send to:
Active Troopons
P.O Box 231
Whiting, IN 46394

Expired Coupons send to:
Expired Troopons
P.O. Box 430
Whiting, IN 46394

With Veteran's Day tomorrow, I can't think of a greater way to say thank you! For more ways that you can help be sure to visit www.supportourtroops.org.
