CouponCause Team Donates $6,000 to 6 Charities for the Holidays
December 17, 2019 by Tiffany Douglas
This holiday season, the CouponCause team is focused on giving back. In addition to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank donation matches we are making through December, the CouponCause team has selected 6 additional charities. To each of these charities, we have made a $1,000 donation. Each charity was picked by a team member and is listed below.
These donations were raised through the help of you, our users. Every time you use a coupon on CouponCause to save on an online purchase, we donate a portion of that sale to charity. Learn more about each organization and consider making your own donation if you support the cause! Or, check out the charities we work with throughout the rest of the year.
