History about overseas military coupons
This program supplies coupons to our military serving overseas. They are able to use coupons that have expired within 6 months. They recommend to only send coupons older than 2 months expired on the date of shipment. It takes 1-2 weeks for packages to get to the recipients as volunteers at the base sort out the coupons. There needs to be enough time for the families sort through them and find the ones they want for use and get to the store with them.
Remember to cut out the coupons and sort in baggies. Here are some categories to get you started. Food, cleaning, pets, personal hygiene, clothing.
