UPDATE: We have been advised that the Coups for Troops Organization has discontinued the program. One of the reasons they’ve cited is that customer loyalty programs have significantly reduced the number of coupons available. However, Maine State Grange continues to send coupons to several overseas bases, thanks to contacts made while the program was active. Valley Grange will continue to collect coupons or you can mail them directly to the Maine State Grange Community Service Director:
Christine Corliss
162 Center Road
Lebanon ME 04027
We are accepting manufacturer’s grocery coupons—even ones that have expired in the past two months. Clip the ones you want, give us the rest! (Please cut out the individual coupons.)
All manufacturer coupons (including Catalinas) that state “manufacturer coupon” are welcomed. Printed internet coupons can be used by our recipients. Store coupons cannot be used (i.e. Target, Family Dollar, etc.). Restaurant coupons also cannot be used (i.e. Olive Garden, Boston Market, etc.).
Commissaries will accept coupons that are up to six months expired. Because of the time it takes packages to get to our recipients, send coupons that have expired in the last month or two.
Our coupons will go to the Maine State Grange Community Service Committee for forwarding overseas. If you have questions regarding this program, contact Valley Grange Community Service Chair Mary Annis.
