"COUPONation" #4
South China Community Church - South China, ME
I just sent an email to the South China Community Church.
http://www.southchinacommunitychurch.org/missions.html
According to their website, they help 4 local families throughout the year with items such as "food, clothing, school supplies, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, birthday and Christmas gifts..."
Part of my email is as follows:
The items I am able to contribute (at least one of each to each of the 4 families) would include:
Laundry soap
Dish Liquid
Toilet Paper
Paper Towels
Body Wash
Shampoo/Conditioner
Toothpaste
Deodorant
Cookie Mix
Brownie Mix
Fruit Snacks
Progresso Soup
Hamburger Helper
Canned Veggies
Cereal
Granola Bars
Cake Mix & Frosting
Boxed Potatoes
This would be a one-time donation to each family as my goal is to find a way to reach every family in need in Maine.
If you are interested in contributing items to help with these 4 families, please let me know. I will be making this COUPONation by the end of November 2011.
There was an article in the Morning Sentinel on Sunday 11/13/11 titled "Getting food is becoming a problem."
According to the article, they've had to "cut down on the amount of food" they are able to purchase because they "haven't been able to get the product."
I sent an email to augustafoodbank@gmail.com with a list of items I would like to donate:
"Progresso Soup - Hamburger Helper - Betty Crocker Boxed Potatoes - Cereal (some are sweetened) - Nature Valley Granola Bars - Green Giant Canned Corn - Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes - Betty Crocker Brownie Mixes"
If any of you would like to be part of this COUPONation, please let me know. I plan to drop the items off by the end of December 2011.

"COUPONation" #2
Sgt. Aaron Rollins - Augusta, ME
Sgt. Aaron Rollins, a US Veteran, and his service dog, Mabel, currently live in a motor home located in the Sam's Club parking lot in Augusta. After reading his story in the Morning Sentinel I decided that he (or other displaced Veterans, if he so chooses) will be the recipient of my next donation.
My plan is to contact Sgt. Rollins to see if there are any items in particular that he or Mabel are in need of. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in contributing items as part of this "COUPONation" please contact me via FaceBook (Dondi Dexter) or email at MaineCouponFreak@gmail.com.
Thank you all in advance!
