SUPPORT BMS STUDENTS ON THE YOUTH COUNCIL FOR MORRISTOWN'S COMMUNITY SOUP KITCHEN:

COUPONS! COUPONS! COUPONS! We want YOUR coupons!

Earlier this month, several Bernardsville Middle School students began their March Coupons3 Madness in support of the Morristown Community Soup Kitchen (CSK) and Outreach Center. This huge coupon collection drive, which officially began March 5th, is continuing throughout March. The Youth Council students won a $500 Sodexo grant for Coupons Cubed (Coupons3); with YOUR GENEROUSLY DONATED COUPON INSERTS and their extreme couponing savvy, these BMS students hope to maximize the purchasing power of that $500 to restock the shelves of Morristown's CSK pantry.

Here's how you can help: please donate the coupon inserts from your Sunday newspaper to one of the following SIX locations:

  • the drop boxes in the lobby's of BMS, BHS or Bedwell
  • the drop box near the LEFT display cases at the Bernardsville Public Library
  • the drop box on the upper level beside the entry door at Bernards Township Library
  • the drop boxes at ShopRite of Bernardsville.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
