Join us in Shopping it Forward to others here in Memphis. We are excited to LAUNCH this initiative to challenge YOU; that as YOU save $$$ and get free products, at the same time we encourage you to look for opportunities to donate to local needs.
Do you know of an organization that is in need of canned goods, and other supplies? Please let us know! We hope that we can find a variety of organizations in Memphis and keep an up-dated list of needs as they arise! Together WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE in the lives of fellow Memphians.
