I've talked a lot about ways to use our stockpiles. Recently, I participated in Stamp Out Hunger and Couponing for Community. Now, I have a new goal. Yes, I am still saving up items for the next Couponing for Community event (I am hopeful for one next quarter). However, I know that some items I stockpile could be used before then.
I will be participating in sending a box (or more) of essentials to soldiers overseas. It's amazing to talk to family members of those deployed and to learn how so many basic items are lacking. Anysoldier is a great resource for what to send and where.
Here's a challenge to you. Build your stockpile. Grab the freebies/cheapies even if you won't use them. Fill a box and send to a soldier who could really use it! I'll be having link-up opportunities in the future. My goal - to send 2 boxes by mid-July. What do you pledge to send?
