Couponing!

Boy do I love couponing, thanks to my mother who is master coupon queen/happiness maker. She helps out the white center food bank and gets them 1000 boxes of cereal or 1000 boxes of fruit snacks each week and then some. Id like to think of all the happy little faces she gets to make smile each week because of her time and generosity. When I think about things like Japan and I feel overwhlemed because there is only so much we can do here besides donate money, but when I think about the tragedy of hungry kids at night here I feel empowered, I have found the tool to help families get fed and I am so excited to start making a difference. It is so sad to me there are people going to bed hungry next to people who throw out food living next door. It is so easy to buy a few groceries and donate them as well as learn how to coupon for your family and because you are so blessed with the savings being able to help others. Maybe theres a pair of jeans you dont wear or some toys your kids don't play with, youd be amazed how many neighbors you have that are hurting and in need. Please remember there are people who need your help and even though you might not think your making a difference with a small donation or gift, you may be the world to someone. My mom most certainly is the world to some sweet little kids who find a box of trix and fruit snack after a week with very little food or none at all. Please donate something today to your local foodbank, it will impact a needy family immediately:)
