EXPIRED COUPONS FOR THE MILITARY
If you have expired coupons that you have cut from the paper (not printables). You may give those to Janiece and she is happy to send them to OVER SEAS bases. She asks that:
You cut them, and separate them between household and grocery.
Only up to month old please!
Can I bring food/snacks?
NOTE: Please do plan to watch your kiddos carefully as the library has no vacuum, I may bring a picnic blanket for them, or if someone has a small hand vac they can bring please let me know!!
If people are able/willing to bring things like that it totally helps our kiddos (and us ;0) to stay occupied ;0)
Leave a comment if you are able to bring something (don't feel obligated), you decided based upon what you see others saying they are bringing, what you would like to bring.
Let me know if you have any questions, please feel free to invite friends etc. And if you have a teen who would be willing to volunteer to read, do crafts, play with the kids please e-mail and let me know (mymemphismommy@gmail.com)

Shana,
You guys are AWESOME!!!! The items that were collected for me to send to my cousin Tommy are just wonderful... and I KNOW he will appreciate all of your generosity! He does not know to expect the packages (or packages) but I bet he will be so happy to get them!!! I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart! I missed the group today and HOPE to be able to make it next month.
Hugs to all that contributed! God Bless!
Hugs,
Janiece Todd Parsons
