If you enjoy scrapbooking, then you'll be interested to know that The Loft Scrapbooks in Menifee is offering discounts on its supplies in cooperation with the Menifee Community Cupboard.

The Menfiee Community Cupboard is a non-profit charity that provides food to hungry folks in the Menifee Valley. By donating some non-perishable food items, you can redeem them for discounts on scrapbooking supplies.

For each single non-perishable food item you donate, you earn a 1% discount towards purchases at The Lofts Scrapbooks. So, if you bring in 20 food items, you get 20% off. There's a maximum discount of 25% off, however, if you can bring in 40 or more food items, you'll get 40% off of one scrapbooking item, and 25% off the others.

The offer is good every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It started running on October 1, and is good until November 29.
