| AFC's new program: Operation "Fill Their Cups" I think most of you will agree that we couponers are blessed beyond belief most of the time! We find great deals, we stock up on items - sometimes we even get things for free or cheap that we don't necessarily use ourselves just because it's too good of a deal to pass up! I would say that our Cups are FULL! What we would like to do with this forum is to bring you lots of information on how you can try to fill someone ELSE's cup! We will have ideas about places that you can donate to, what sorts of things are best to donate to those places, how to hit those after holiday sales to maximize donation items, etc. There are so many people out there in unfortunate situations and we sure would like to try and make a difference - will you help us?  While we hope that each one of you will be willing to contribute to this nationwide effort, we even have our own group of secret AFC Cup Fillers who will be dedicating their time and generosity to bless the members of our very own AFC community! Will you be someone who is touched by this program?!  We welcome your feedback and suggestions!!

Sounds like a wonderful idea. I donate to the Ronald McDonald house and local food banks. My DD school is asking for donations, these items will help children's family out that goes to her school. I am just going to fix a box of stuff for someone. I have plenty!! I could never have done this without AFC!! Thanks Monica for all you do at AFC, and the things you continue to do!! Count me in, I will help do whatever I can for someone!

My school collects those tabs for the Ronald McDonald House (the recycled tabs, which are aluminum, actually pay for an entire year of heat!!!!). They are easy to collect and are worth a lot when recycled because they are aluminum. So....when you get those great deals on soda at wags and cvs, pop your tab and save them!!! *********Please note that the Ronald Mcdonald House provides housing for families that travel far to specialized hospitals for their children. This helps out with high hotel bills, etc. It also provides a fun place for siblings to get taken care of while parents are at the hospital. **********

I've been avoiding an overabundance of "stuff", but now that y'all mention the great possibilities of donating lots of our free stuff...I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for free items, and make a donation stash. A great lesson for my kids to see, too! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am blessed beyond belief at the deals and savings that I get and love to donate. Without AFC, I would not have the opportunity to give as much as I can! Most of my stockpile goes to Iraq and Afghanistan. That is my bias , but if you are interested and don't personally know anyone over there, please go to anysoldier.com! We also have a section here for ideas on what to send, ect... :AFC For Our Troops! - Grocery Coupons & Deal Forums - A Full Cup If you find that your cup is full of female oriented items, don't forget that there are very brave women over there too!

:wow: Great Idea! My friends and family have nick named my bonus room the Tanya IGA store. Many people in our church have started telling people about it and I have been giving so much. I just love to share it all. I think I get more excited about it than the person shopping in my closet. Thank so much Monica

This is great! Just yesterday I looked up the local Domestic Violence center, bookmarked their wishlist for donations, and saved the location map. I've included some HBA w/my usual Goodwill donations over the past several months, but I'm hoping to get into something more regular.

What an awesome idea! I just started couponing about 8 weeks ago so I don't have much of a stockpile just yet. I have been able to donate a few small things to my immediate family (Mom, MIL, sister, SIL) but nothing major yet. But, I hope to be able to donate things on a grander scale sometime in my couponing future! Thank you for the lists!

I just love that the AFC community is getting involved so heavily in giving back! I personally feel that this is our greatest responsibility in life, and it warms my heart to see so many others want to be involved!
