Military Coupon Program

Overseas military bases will accept expired grocery coupons up to six months from their expiration date. We just recently learned of an overseas military base that needs coupons, and they have given us permission to share their information with you. For the cost of postage, you can help our military families save big every month!PLEASE NOTE: Don't do this!!! Some people have been sending coupons that are expired PAST the 6 month limit, and the military base personnel are spending hours sorting through huge boxes of unsorted coupons to find usable coupons.
In fact, one base has asked us to stop sending coupons because people are sending boxes filled with random coupons, not sorted at all, and they were overwhelmed. In order to really help people, be considerate of their time and sort them into envelopes.
Please follow these guidelines:
1. Send coupons that are just a month or two past their expiration date, since it takes time to ship, sort and distribute to personnel.
2. If possible, try to sort coupons into smaller envelopes in the same categories you would use. At the very least, sort them into FOOD and NON FOOD if possible.
Send coupons to one of these bases:Base 1: Thomas Leugers USAG-UD CMR 419 box 1467 apo ae 09102If you have any questions, you can send an email directly to Thomas Leugers

Our Family Service Center accepts expired coupons as well (can be used for up to 6 months after expiration). If you know of anyone who wants to get rid of them please have them send to me. I am only here until July and will be heading to the states. Thank you.
