We Organize Mobile Food Drives. The concept is simple: Neighbors and community members are asked to place one bag of non-perishable items outside of their door to be picked up and delivered for them. Ministry members volunteer to pick-up the canned goods and deliver them to local charities.

Clipping for a Cause Inc. was created to combine two passions: saving money by couponing and helping those in need. Our mission is to help the needy by combining coupons with current sales to purchase free or nearly free items to stock the shelves of local food banks and homeless shelters. To date, we have saved $30,718.90 and only spent $4,952.91 out of pocket. Since March of 2010, we have donated 37,351 to local charities. This is a savings of 86% and like paying only $0.13 per item. 

How it Works: Church members and other individuals generously donate their unused coupon inserts that are included in their Sunday papers. From there, our ministry meets every Wednesday night to clip only the items that will be free or nearly free after the coupon. After collecting all of the coupons needed for that week, our shoppers go out to different stores to purchase the items. Depending on the current needs of various organizations, we then divide the items and deliver them on a weekly basis to one of several different locations. Since the launch of this effort in 2010, others have been inspired to respond to the cry of the needy. Currently, between 8-10 separate chapters have started from this one all across the United States!
