Welcome!

Coupons for Causes LA is an organization that uses coupons to buy items to donate to Upward Bound House, a local charity. Upward Bound House assists homeless families with minor children by providing housing and support services along with food and personal supplies. Using coupons and sales we are able to save over 90% off retail on a variety of products, which means UBH gets more products to help families in need. The more coupons we have the more deals we can get, so please consider donating your Sunday paper coupons. Or you can shop along with us, as we show you where to find the best freebies and deals around town! Start your own donation bag, and see how quickly it fills up:)

Military Care Packages

I wanted to share a web site and idea for another mission - care packages for deployed military.

A few years ago when I started couponing I sent tons of care packages to soldiers through an organization called Any Soldier (www.anysoldier.com)  Deployed military people can sign up on the site and post information about what they need.  You can browse through the posts and support groups that fit the kinds of things you have to offer.  It is so inspiring to read the posts of our troops.  I also loved that very often I would get letters back from the soldiers. It was amazing to see how much the items I sent meant to them, and even more than that how much they appreciated the support from back home.

I would love to organize more care packages, especially around the holidays.  I know that I can use coupons to purchase items at about 90% off retail, but I still need help to cover the expense of that 10% plus tax.  If anyone would like to sponsor this mission please be in touch with me.  I can use cash or store card donations.

I think it would be very cool to try and coupon for specific things that the troops are requesting.  It would be another great way to use coupons to make a difference:)
