Using Coupons: Encouraging Hope

 

I’m Kimberly McCormick, founder of Encourage Hope, a division of Retire With Coupons, Inc.  I’m a weekly columnist with The Pantagraph in Bloomington, and the Herald & Review in Decatur, both in Illinois.  I’m also an author, speaker, volunteer, and advocate.

By utilizing coupons, I’m able to donate needed items within our community, encouraging hope among those who may need it most.
