Help Military Families With Unused Coupons
Diligent coupon clippers often wind up with several hundred dollars worth of unused or expired offers over a year’s time. One especially deserving organization is ready to help you get them into the hands of overseas military families who can put them to use. It’s called the Overseas Coupon Program.
OCP is a non-profit organization that connects motivated coupon clippers with overseas military bases. Because the on-base stores honor manufacturers’ coupons for 6 months beyond expiration, the families of our troops can benefit from coupons you don’t use. The OCP website here is a comprehensive source of information on how to get involved in the process. Last year OCP volunteers contributed just under 10.5 million dollars in unused coupons. When you stop to consider the considerable dollar value of coupons you clip or pass by in a typical week, it’s easy to see how the dollars can add up – especially if you also involve friends, families or organizations you belong to. With a little extra time and a modest expense for shipping costs, it’s possible to make a big difference in lives of dozens of families who make an important sacrifice for us.
