Here is why you should vote for me.
I supply most of the food for my church food pantry, and very soon I will take over the management of the food pantry. I have learned that large food banks like Feed America have specific requirements as to how you have to store the food and how much food you are allowed to purchase as a food pantry. As a result, many smaller churches cannot qualify to purchase food from the food banks and they are dependent entirely on donations and whatever they have budgeted for food purchases in the church budget.
What I would like to do is to teach the managers of the food pantries of these small churches how to purchase food and stock their pantries for next to nothing with coupons. I already teach classes, but I want to syndicate my material and have the resources to market my services to all small churches that have food banks, regardless of where they are located. I'd like to be able to have an internet package for purchase as well as be able to skype, do gotomeetings, etc for customer support after their purchase. Mainly I'd use the money to publicize my business through church publications, message board advertisements, mailouts, producing the training materials, and making whatever changes to my blog that are needed to service this endeavor.
I just can't stand the idea that ANYONE in need would go away without the things that they need because the little church could not afford to purchase food or toiletries. Lots of little churches don't even have a food pantry because it's just not in the budget. I can change that!!
But I need your help. In order to win this grant, I have to raise my Alexa rating of my blog (which basically means get more subscribers or visitors) AND I need votes on a daily basis. Mom Central (I hope it's ok that I mentioned them?) resets the votes every day in the afternoon and you can vote once every 24 hours.
Ya'll please consider voting for me. I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog for everyone who votes - you can find that if you click the Coupons Make Cents link in my siggy and search for giveaway. Right now the prize is a $25 gift code to Amazon, but as the entries get higher, I'm going to add more.
Please consider voting for me and enter the giveaway. I'd love for a HCW'er to be my winner! :)![]()

This project is very dear to me. I support 2 pantries, one very large and one church pantry with coupons. I can't get all their food but I do make a dent in what they can give out. I definitely voted and will do so each day. Hope you win this is an awesome idea.
