sbp needs help from everyone with any ties to Overseas Military families!

[sbp]

Anyone that knows me would tell you that I'm a huge advocate for sending expired and unwanted manufacturer's coupons overseas to U.S. military families, where they can use those coupons for up to 6 months past their expiration date.

As the admin at HotCouponWorld's sister site, www.CouponsToTroops.com, I am always receiving emails from families and groups around the country asking for my help in putting them in contact with an overseas military family that they can send their coupons to, and I'm more than happy to help.

I do have quite a few military contacts on my contact list, so it hasn't been a problem for me to put people in touch with an overseas family until now. As of right now, I've got 12 military families who have either recently moved back to the States or will be moving back soon, so they no longer are in need of coupons. And because of these families moving back, I've also have the 50+ people back here who have been mailing to them, who are now going to be needing new names to mail their coupons to.

I am waiting to hear back from the others on my list to see how much more they can each handle receiving, but I know that it will be best to add some new names to my list, so I hopefully won't find myself in this predicament again in a few months.

So I'm asking for you help - if you have any family members or friends who are currently stationed on an overseas military base who would be interested in receiving coupons from families back here in the U.S. please have them contact me. If you PM me, I'll be happy to give you my email address.

Just so you know how I do this, when I receive an email from someone looking for someone to mail their coupons to, I pick a name off my contact list and forward the email to the the military family and then they reply, providing their mailing information. For privacy and security reasons, I do no give out anyone''s address unless I have been given permission to do so on their behalf.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I would appreciate your help with this!!!

thanks everyone for your help!!!

Anytime I talk with anyone overseas, believe me, I'm asking if they know of anyone else that would like to receive coupons and often times they do hook me up with someone.

I've got 4 new military families on my list since Wednesday so my panic has eased a little bit, but I can always use more.

I'll post on my FB too.

Just another thought to get more coupons out to military overseas. Is there any chance that some of the contacts you have might want to take on a little project. Nothing hard or time consuming. I just remember when I was overseas, the library on base had a box with bags of coupons in them for the taking (no idea where they came from). I used it often.

I had no idea that getting coupons sent from an individual was possible (didn't even know about couponing forums and stuff), so to have the ability to just pick those up from the library was great. Maybe there are many on base where your contacts are that do not know they could have coupons sent to them...and maybe by putting some in the library they will benefit that way, and maybe have a sign with an email or the forum you mod advertised so they can add themselves to your list.

Not sure if any of your contacts would be willing to do it, but it wouldn't take much effort and I bet they'd be helping a lot of people out.
