Coupon Luv is Helping Haiti

Coupon Luv is going to help out Haiti by donating toiletry items.  I have scored lot's of free toiletry items by using coupons and this has often allotted me another way to give back to local shelters, churches, and others  in the DC Metro area that could use these items.  I began donating toiletery items last year and many organizations have been extremely greatful for my donations. So not only have coupons helped me to save money, but they also have allowed me to give back to the community. 

If you can, please consider giving to assist Haiti in their time of need.  The following are ways you can donate to disaster relief efforts:
