Goshen High School is now a drop off site for Coups for Troops, a nonprofit organization that takes donated new and expired grocery coupons and sends them to military families overseas. Those families may use coupons that have expired at the base commissary for up to six months past the expiration date. Simply clip unwanted grocery coupons(not restaurant coupons) or donate expired coupons. Donate in the box marked "Coups for Troops" in the high school main office or given to Mrs. Deuer in A216 This is an ongoing project, so please keep clipping those coupons. Thanks!
