As we save so much money for ourselves and our families, we as couponers, are able to provide for others with our ability to purchase products for free or near free. I hope you will join me in “Couponing For a Cause”, donating products from your overflowing stockpile.
This list was compiled from all of the great LRWC Readers. If you have a food bank or shelter that you would like to see added to the list, you may email CFAC@livingrichwithcoupons.com with the information.

In Lansdale, Pennsylvania, I donate my extra extreme couponing efforts to: Manna on Main Street, 713 W. Main Street, Lansdale, PA 19446 http://www.mannaonmain.org or facebook.com/mannaonmain. In addition to serving as a local food bank for persons and pets, they also provide meals 3 times a day to the economically challenged in our area.
~Robin
In Grand County, CO I have been fortunate enough to start to be able to donate my extra coupon-ing treasures to our local food bank the Mountain Family Center. Our community is dependent on second homeowners and tourism, with the current economy our local food banks have been hit hard as have many nationwide. I have been trying to get others involved in clipping coupons, but it has proven to be difficult as many of the people that live in our community do not see the point as we do not have many retailers in our area and the ones we have are priced significantly higher as they label us as a “tourist” community. We need to get the word out that it is possible and does make a difference!
Thank you for your help!
Sarah
Took my Ajax deal, must buy 3/$4, less the $1/2 coupon over to my local animal shelter. Typically many shelter websites list things they need i.e. laundry detergent, bleach, food, toys etc.
I am in Oklahoma and follow this site daily, I would like to be able to add a great place here in Tulsa to the list, the John 3:16 mission. It clothes, feeds and houses the homeless.
Can you add St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank to your list?They service not only Somerset county, but Union County as well as Middlesex county.
Their address is 99 Westervelt Ave., North Plainfield
