If you live in Montgomery and are looking for a coupon book, you can get one AND support Common Ground Montgomery. 

As an additional fundraiser, we partnered with Localize Montgomery to help them reach more people.

The coupon books are $20, have over $200 in coupons, and we get $11 for every book sold!  But in order for us to get the $11, you have to buy the book and choose CGM as organization receiving the money.

So head on over to CGM's Localize Montgomery page and get some deals while helping us out!
