Friday, Suni and I made our first donation trip to the Churches in Mission in Mooresville. Alice, the director, is very excited about what we plan to do. We had a shopping cart full of donations - including pasta, deodarant, body wash, razors, panty liners, toothpaste and toothbrushes, candy bars, rice cakes, etc. I am very excited about the amount that two people can do - and anxious to see what a group of people can do.
Here is our idea:
We currently have a "coupon dealer". We are able to get a large number of inserts each week. In fact, we have been extremely blessed by the number of inserts we've received. I have been able to purchase, so far, over 200 packages of panty liners...for free. (with just as many, if not more coupons to use before 6-12)I am so thankful for the person who has been able to donate them to our cause. These inserts are not guaranteed so we wanted to have a back up plan. If you - or someone you know - receives coupons and do not use them, please donate them to us! They do not have to be cut or organized - we'll take care of that!
We have quite a few ideas and have started to spend some time organizing and planning ways to make better use of our time. As soon as we have more information about getting together, I'll make another post. If you are interested in helping, please let me know. We will need people to volunteer to help cut and organize coupons (probably once a week) and also people to help go to the store and shop.
God Bless :)
