Organize a coupon swap with similar minded folks by putting up a notice on local bulletin boards. Invite others to meet at a public location at a certain date and time, such as a local library on June 15 from 1-2 pm to swap coupons. Put your exact needs on the notice, such as pet food coupons or paper goods.

Tips & Warnings
Check with your local grocery to see if they'll accept expired grocery coupons. A lot of stores are starting to do this as times become harder.
I always drop off a few coupons at the grocery store, next to items I don't need but someone else might want.
Note: not all stores may accept online coupons or printable coupons. Best to check before you get to the checkout line.
