When most of us hit milestone ages, we usually set lofty goals, but none like what Lauren Puryear is aiming for.

Puryear, currently 29, doesn’t turn 30 until next September, but she has huge expectations. She wants to deliver 30,000 meals to the homeless & hungry of her city, Woodbridge, Virginia.

To accomplish this, she is using coupons! She took her hobby of couponing and is turning it into something bigger for the greater good. Puryear, who has a 5-year-old son, told Good Morning America that she started to help feed the homeless after her grandmother passed in 2012. Her grandmother used to give back to her community, and she wanted to continue her acts.

In doing so, she started an organization called For the Love of Others, which delivers food locally, as well as in her home state of New Jersey. After getting the couponing and getting the food, Puryear, her mother and son deliver it to people.

She told GMA, “I first research locations where there is a homeless population and then look at the laws to make sure I’m able to serve in public. And then I just go to the area and let people know I’m there. We try to be as social as possible and investing in them, sometimes they ask for prayer. Just knowing that we’re making a difference in someone’s life, that’s the most rewarding thing and what keeps me going.”

Since she started, Puryear has feed over 5,572 people, so she’s off to an awesome start!

Kudos to you Lauren, this is amazing!
