Popular Coupon Site Pitches for Charities

In Washington, subscribers to the online coupon site Groupon found a second offer next to Tuesday’s deal for a discounted health-club membership. They also had the opportunity to donate meals to families in need.

The promotion, which will run through Saturday, encourages Groupon’s customers in Washington to make a donation to the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region’s Neighbors in Need Fund, which helps local food banks.

The community foundation said it would match all donations through Groupon, which can be made in increments of $10, $25, or $50.
