Thanks to Debbie, Sue, Madelyn, Sharon, Eleanor and our newest angel...Shelly!

Anna sent some sad news today:   KROGER NO LONGER DOUBLES OR TRIPLES COUPONS!
so...we will have to really do our work to get the bargains for the food banks!  See ya next week!

Our Easter Basket Project is looking good...........We will deliver 30+ Easter Baskets to SOS on
April 22nd.  SOS is hoping or should I say hop-ing to deliver 500 baskets to children 12 and under.
If you would like to make a basket, we will be glad to take it to SOS for you!


Come join us and bring a friend...it is a good thing!

Easter Baskets for S.O.S.


Come by and pick up your basket to fill for S.O.S.!
The Coupon Angels have 30 baskets waiting to get full of wonderful Easter goodies!
call Melinda at 713-409-6890 to reserve your basket!
The Coupon Angels will be delivering these to S.O.S the first part of April.
A good way to share Christ's love by adding a Bible versus to each basket.

Matt and his friend Chep fill a basket for a girl and boy.
(Matt picked the FOOTBALL basket!)
Last year S.O.S. gave 300 baskets to Magnolia children 12 and under.
 We are excited to contribute this year!

Stonebridge Food Bank!

Last week Sharon delivered the Coupon Angel's groceries to Stonebridge Food Pantry.
She walked in the door of the pantry with all of the bags she could carry...the great volunteers welcomed the bags and thanked her very much for donating.....then Sharon said but there is MORE... I am delivering the Coupon Angels groceries and there is a trunk load still to bring in! 
YAHOO!
you gotta love MORE!

SOS

And then the bottom fell out! 
The Coupon Angels were out shopping when we had a Thunder Storm Monday morning!
When we entered the store everything was great...beautiful Monday...when we checked-out and headed to our cars.....oh my!  The skies were pitch black and the lights went out at Kroger making the store pitch black!  and it was pouring rain...a real gully washer!  But thanks to Matt (home for Spring break) we stayed nice and dry while he brought the cars to the front door!  Thanks Matt!
Also, we had the privilege of an out of town guest, Eleanor's sister, Judy. 
Judy got to witness a real Texas gully washer!
 



Thanks to all!
