Stamp Out Hunger - U S Post Office Food Drive

Need to clear a few items out of your pantry?  Do it early Saturday morning, May 10th, and place the items in a bag outside by your mailbox.

Postal carriers will  be collecting donations of non-perishable food items as part of their national "Stamp Out Hunger" campaign.

The 16th annual food collection put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers is the largest one-day food drive in the nation, organizers said. Last year postal service employees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands collected more than 70 million pounds.

Letter carriers will take the donations to pantries, food banks and shelters for distribution to the estimated 35 million Americans who face hunger each day, organizers said.

They probably just missed it... I think you can still drop off at the post offices.
