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:)

New Project - Learning to Give

I hope everyone had a great holiday!  I was so busy, but I still made time to coupon, of course!  I have a new project to announce, and I am really excited about it.

I am going to be launching a new organization called Learning to Give.  This organization will partner with local schools to organize monthly donation drives that will benefit Upward Bound House.  Each month of the school year will have a theme (i.e. back to school), and students and families will be encouraged to bring items to school to donate.  The focus will be to teach children the benefit of charity within the community.  Parents will be given a list of suggested donation items, and all themes will have items with a cost as low as $1.  

I will be testing this new project at my son's school, and putting together info to send to other schools with the hope that they will choose to adopt the program starting in September.  

With all of this going on I will not be able to continue this blog - though of course I will still coupon and donate the excess:)  Maintaining the records for this project is very time consuming!  I am hoping to start a new blog that will highlight the best deals of the week for those of you that would like to start couponing on your own.  I would love to have a blog that is geared toward fun, inexpensive family fun, and also has helpful info about how to save on the things you need.  All of this should be coming in the next couple of weeks.  

I have so enjoyed couponing for UBH, and I look forward to launching this new project to help get even more much needed product delivered to UBH!
