As a Peace Corps Volunteer it seems that everyone is willing to give you freebies, or at least discounts. All you have to do is ask! I am told that if I want anything while I am serving, to try! Well, considering I am so frugal, I am pretty sure I will try anything to save a buck here and there! Here is a compiled list of what I have found out thus far. FRE-7s may want to pay attention to this!
Bivouac: They were very helpful and knowledgeable and give most volunteers 20% off. They also price match. They don’t have a PC volunteer policy, but if you are/were a boy scout you can get 20% off as well.
Chaco: Gives PC volunteers 50% off! Call 970.527.7413 or email help@chacousa.com. They will ask you to fax or email them a copy of your invitation and then they will email you a promotional code which can be used on their website.
CVS: volunteers are sometimes able to print photographs on laminated waterproof photo paper for free.
Moosejaw: Some locations and possibly on their website you can get 10% for life!
Keen: Request a certificate for their Pro Purchase Program. Choose Industry Partner and fill out the form. They will email you a certificate number, and then you can get up to two pairs per season at the discounted price (which is 50% off!).
Uncle Dan’s: Gives 10% off everything to PC Volunteers.
The Economist: gave them over 50% off a year’s subscription and delivered it to the Peace Corps bureau in country.
Burton: They told them they wanted to duneboard in the Sahara so they sent them a snowboard in exchange for photos
Teva: Gave their wonderful Peace Corps Host Country National language trainers free sandals after the Volunteers told them how great they are and included photos.
Freeplay Energy: This one comes from Nathan Danielsen in Senegal freeplayfoundation.org/
