    Does this charge on my phone bill or is it free for me and Sam’s Club pays for the meals?

    • Kristen

      Was wondering the same thing! Normally things like this onlinee off your phone bill, so I am wondering also

    • ash

      You have to pay for the message fees. I have unlimited (as do mist people with smart phones) but if not you have to pay your standard text message rate. Sam’s Club is donating the meals

  2. Joann

    cool….I just did it….yah… : )

  3. Katrina

    Awesome! So easy!

  4. harlow

    i was wondering too if they charge u, i would like to help…i believe collin would tell us if it did cost tho 🙂

  5. lori

    It didnt say anything about chatging anything…. So easy to do.

  6. Heather C.

    Doesn’t look like you’ll be charged… See below link.

    While I appreciate the generosity of SAMs club, can’t they just do it without them having my cellphone number? Makes me wonder what they are going to do with it and if I am going to get spammed.

    • Sara

      I use my cell number for loads of things like this (even free samples and such) and have only had a couple of spam calls in the past decade with the same number. It’s also really easy to change your number I’ve heard, so if I ended up on any lists I could just hop on Verizon’s website and change it.

  8. Robin

    Done! Thank you!

  9. Daphne

    Done! 🙂

  10. Emily

    What an awesome way to help those less fortunate!

    As far as other people’s concerns about being “spammed” from Sams…in the long run – you’ve helped 12 people have a meal that may not otherwise – *if* there is spam, I’m sure it would be minimal and it well worth helping those in need. As couponers and frugalistas, we should try to help others in any way that we can, especially when we know how hard it is to make ends meet.

    • Pam L.

      I agree!! Helping others is more important than spam, especially when you can mark it as spam in your email if it’s bothersome.

      • Pam L.

        You can also block numbers on your phone if you need to.

    • Heather C.

      Agree, Emily!

    • Sara

      Agreed! It’s super easy to block #s that you don’t want and to change your number anyhow – so if I ended up on any lists I’d just do that. I’m not too attached to 7-digits.

    • eas

      Thanks Daphne. I needed to order one of these!

  14. fran

    Hmmnn, just wondering where tgis info came from. Once a conpany has cell phone number and zip code they have pretty much all your info. When i googled this it came up as a promotion with General Mills and Sams Club where you enter upc codes didnt see anything about a text campaign. Im all about helping but sadly there are scams out there—- does anyone know anything about this for sure???

    • Laura

      Ya – I’m passing on this. Seems like if Sams club wanting to feed people, they wouldn’t need my cell number

    • cuponluva

      I did quick google search, found details on facebook page for Feeding America. Zip code is only to determine which local food bank applies to you. You dont have to give a zip, it gets distributed nationally.

    • meg

      Frankly if someone wants to find out info on you they can do it….it is very easy with a first and last name. Nothing is private anymore.

      • mel

        Collin & her team work hard to bring us the very best content AND legit deals. If this wasn’t legit, it wouldn’t be posted.

        • meg

          Absolutely!

  15. Tasia

  22. SANDRA

  23. Jax

    Take a minute and do a little research instead slamming it. With the time it takes to put a great program down you could have seen its legitimate. Good work Collin!

    I cant believe how cynical some of you are, its a free donation for food to needy families and yet some of you still find a way to onlineplain about it. Sheesh.

  35. JIll

    done and shared !!

  36. luckymeyay

    Here’s another opportunity to help: https://www.drive4clots.online/

    With each video story you watch, Janssen will make a contribution to Mended Hearts to help those affected by blood clots and stroke.

    During American Heart Month and Blood Clot Awareness Month, Janssen is teaming up with Mended Hearts to educate people about the serious risks of blood clots and stroke, an important issue close to each of their hearts. For each video view, Janssen will make a contribution to Mended Hearts, a nonprofit organization that helps heart disease and blood clot patients, their families and caregivers.

  37. Cindy

    Just did it. 🙂

  38. Bethany Moody

    I love that you guys are doing this for families and individuals that need a helping hand. I loved Sam’s for years because of their great deals, but I love them so much more for lending support to their onlinemunities. Thanks Sam’s!!!
