A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on saving money online called Never Pay The Sale Price. Up until that time I was using the sites I mentioned to save money. Recently I became aware of a site called Save1.com. Not only can you save money by using coupons, discounts and deals from thousands of the web’s top American retailers but you can help feed a child at the same time. It’s a win-win situation!
How does it work? Each time you use one the their coupons or special deals to save money, Save1.com will use a portion of their commission to provide a nutritious meal for a hungry child through on of their partners. They partner with Action Against Hunger, Feeding America, Feed My Starving Children, and Project Peanut Butter. Their partners are accredited 501(c) (3) non-profit organizations that have a solid history of successfully feeding children in developing countries.
Who started this? Save 1 was created by Joy and Todd Smith, high school sweethearts who’ve dedicated their lives to helping others, along with their children Danielle (and her husband Josh) and Gerrid (and his wife Jessica). This family started this business because they have a passion to help the most desperate people in the world. This is exactly what they are doing with our help.
I was quite impressed with the site, since launching 10/01/12; they have provided more than 92,000 meals! You can save money while helping others in the process.
Be sure to check out their website. They are also on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest so you can stay up-to-date on the latest deals and happenings! They also have an awesome blog with a section on money saving tips!
If you don’t make online purchases, you can still help (free of cost). Like their Facebook page and they will feed a hungry child. Share the page, and they’ll feed another. Save money and at the same time support a cause bigger than what you ever imagined just by shopping online with Save1.com. Working together we can make a difference.
