Coupons for Soldiers {Charity Sunday}

On Sundays I will be showcasing my favorite charities. To start it off I am going to give you some information about Troopons straight from their website. Troopons are coupons for the Troops. Our soldiers can use coupons overseas that are expired up to 2 months! Don't throw those coupons out! Families stationed overseas are often dealing with how much less the dollar is worth there and can use our help to save money on base as much as possible. This takes so little time and will only cost you a stamp. :)

The Support Our Troops^® Troopons^® program enhances the well-being of overseas and domestic military families by sending them food, non-food, baby, and pet manufacturer coupons to make their hard-earned dollars go farther.

Coupons must be :

• From manufacturers for individual products" examples include items like soup, pasta or toothpaste.
• Not for individual stores - coupons for individual stores cannot be used.
• Clipped out individually.
• Packaged in sandwich or quart-size plastic bags
• Not assistance vouchers, not food stamps or the like; not restaurant coupons
• Separated into food, non-food, baby, and pet baggies (the military advises they will recycle unsorted coupons due to lack of manpower).

Military families say use their savings to:

• pay other bills
• send their children to college
• simply “make ends meet”
• purchase things they otherwise could not afford

Go here for the full instructions and have some fun with it! :) I think this is a great service project for teenagers, but I also enjoyed doing it myself.
