I would like to repost something that has been on ThriftyFun in the past. Sending expired coupons to our troops. This is the link to a great site that explains all about how, what and where to send.

http://www.ocpnet.org/

Please take the time to do this for the men & women who have sacrificed so much that we may all live free.

How do we adopt a base?

Another website with information is http://www.couponstotroops.com/

Not only is there information on how someone can get started sending coupons as an individual or as a group, but also a project directory of different groups around the country, where you can physically drop off coupons and the groups will mail them out.

The response to ocpnet has been tremendous. In fact, overwhelming. Please do not send large amounts of coupons to Vicenza, Italy. We receive far more than could be used by many small cities (over 200,000 per month)! Thank you to all who have contributed for your willingness and hard work. Our community does appreciate it.

I'm sure they will.
In fact, even if they haven't expired when you send
them, many will probably be expired by the time they
get there.
I am clipping all the coupons I run across.

Under "How do I participate" you will find:

"The cheapest way to send your coupons is via "Parcel Post". Since this method takes much longer to travel to its destination, please make sure that you send coupons that are no more than two months expired on the date of shipping if you use Parcel Post."

I think they can use them up to 6 months after the expiration date.
I know it is time consuming to clip all those coupons; I must confess I've been putting it off . Thanks for the reminder.

Are you sure they use expired coupons? I gave the web site a brief scan and didn't find the expiration date mentioned.
