But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

We will be doing our monthly meal outreach to help feed the homeless/less fortunate in our community on Sunday, February 18th from 4-5 p.m. This will be a meatloaf dinner with all the fixings.  We have been feeding an average of 200-300 people per month and we need your help 🙂

We need your help to make up a food item, fill a backpack, volunteer, or make a monetary donation, and most importantly please pray for God to be glorified 🙂  Here are all the pictures from last year’s picnic 🙂 

We are so excited to announce that we will be doing our monthly feeding the homeless/less fortunate, but for August, we will be doing an outdoor picnic.  This is our 2nd-annual event.   This will still be held at St. Lucas Church, 745 Walbridge, Toledo, OH, from 4 to 5:30.  We will be cooking out, giving away backpacks, and possibly a bounce house and visit from Muddy the Mudhen.  We received a permit to block off Frank Street so the picnic will ALL be outside.  In addition, we have had to hire 2 Toledo Police Officers ($75 for each one so a total of $150).  We did this just for safety reason.  We are in need of much food, backpacks, volunteers, etc.  If you cannot make a dish, please consider making a monetary donation, we need to raise approximately $500 to make this happen.   Last year we served well over 300 people, so we are anticipating a little more this year.  Neighbors will be able to smell the delicious food we are cooking out and they will see we are having a FREE, FUN event.  Due to that, we will also need more volunteers.  We have had many say they cannot help due to summer being so busy and we appreciate that and completely  understand, but please remember, people are still hungry in the summer so any help you can give is greatly appreciated!! This is for the entire family so feel free to bring your children.  We have a  sign-up sheet for all item that we need.   PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BESIDE EACH ITEM YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR SO YOU PROVIDE THE CORRECT QUANTITY NEEDED!! ALSO, ANYONE THAT SIGNS UP TO VOLUNTEER, WILL ALSO NEED TO BRING AN ITEM FROM THE LIST DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES.

If you want to sign up for multiple items, please feel free to do that. We need all items at the church by 3 p.m. If you are willing to fill a backpack, that would be AWESOME 🙂

We do all the work for you. . we do the matchups and show you where to get the coupons, many FREE printable coupons. Sit back and follow the blog and watch your savings increase! Couponing is a ministry for our family as we we love to show others how to save and share from their couponing harvest!

I just recently wrote a book called “Extreme Couponing” (released March 5, 2013)  that gives step-by-step directions on how to coupon.  We have been featured on TLC “Extreme Couponing” five times, The 700 Club, 20/20, Today Show, GMA, HLN, Rachael Ray, AOL “You’ve Got”, Fox News, CNN Money, Huffington Post ~ to see a complete list you can click on the right-hand sidebar and the clips and articles are listed there.

I continue to challenge everyone weekly to donate 5 nonperishable or hygienic items to a local food bank/pantry and/or family you may know in need.  Don’t ever discount the smallness of any act of kindness. . it matters!
