Giving Back in a Big Way
Donation Drives
The local community is very important to the creator of Saving Our Way, Brenda Anz. Brenda and her team have made major contributions to the surrounding areas of SA. Successfully, they ended up donating over $50,000 worth of merchandise in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Thank you to all that have helped support Saving Our Way and who has donated over the years. Brenda Anz with Saving Our Ways will continue to support our community by couponing, grabbing deals, and donating. Hope you will join as well!

Here are some of the previous drives we participated in:
Local Community Donations with Que_SouthSide
For The Homeless
Que_Southside & Savingourway teamed up together to hand out hygiene goodie bags to the homeless and less fortunate. Due to tough times, the two couponers saw an opportunity to lend a helping hand where they could! They did the work in getting the hygiene goodies from locals, making the bags, and passing them out.
"We are just two San Antonio citizens trying to make a difference in others' lives, and looking to come together to anyone that wants to help us in supporting us by donating the things others needs. Together as a community, we can really make a difference through these hygiene blessing bags. Let’s make a rainy day into a tornado storm showing the true heart San Antonio citizens have for others less fortunate."
