Here one of the American Legion posts collects them. I usually take them about 4-5 gallon ziplock bags full that I have collected to send. They in turn sort them and mail them off. I do make sure that they have all been clipped.
I did it all myself for quite a while and it is a BIG job getting them all ready to mail.
I do know however that just the same as us, there is a need for our service men and women to be able to stretch their money and coupons is a wonderful way to do that. I have always thought it was such a waste to have to throw coupons away because they have expired. Now we don't have to!
I think it is amazing that the Manufacturers will allow military overseas to use expireds for so long after their date.

If it's just a small envelope, can you put a regular US postage stamp on it and drop it in a mailbox, or does it have to be taken to the Post Office for special postage?

The site looks great and of course it is a wonderful cause! I know my DS's scout troop is always looking for new "community" activities and I will be sure to mention this when meetings start again in the fall.

As long as it doesn't weigh more than an ounce then you can put a regular $.44 stamp on it.

I can help you find a contact to mail to.

Follow the link in my siggy over to our thread in the expireds forum. There's about a dozen hcw members who are stationed overseas. Just pick a name, send them a pm to request their address and you're all set!!
