This is an awesome and exciting opportunity to help give to those in need! Kaley from Cha-Ching on a Shoestring has organized an effort to encourage us bloggers as well as all of our readers to join and participate in a giving challenge!
We, The Thrifty Couple, are so thrilled to have opportunities to give and to help others in a time of need (see the Give-a-Tent post too!)! This challenge is to see how much we can get together and give for the Stamp Out Hunger day on Saturday, May 8th sponsored through the USPS! Several weeks ago, we cleared out our pantry and even parts of our food storage to become more organized, but ended up also giving away many food items then too! Well, right before I sat down to write this post to encourage you and any one you know to particpate, I opened my cleaned out pantry to see if there was anything else that could be given! In just a matter of seconds, I pulled out the following items! I will show you the first round here!
So, will you join us? Well, there is an event page on Facebook that has been created for us all to join together for this effort. So you can also join us and our couponing community by visiting the Facebook page and say that you are attending! There are nearly 200 so far!! PLUS there are about 60 other bloggers that are participating as well!
There are many ideas on how you can participate:
- Some are clearing out current shelves
- Some are shopping for the deals and steals this week to donate
- Some are setting a budget and seeing how far they can stretch it – like $5 and it could go a long way with coupons!
- Some are rallying more friends and neighbors and encourage to give
What are some ideas you have or what are you planning to do? Leave us a comment with your thoughts!
