Place nonperishable food items by your mailbox or at the post office
The National Letter Carriers Association is once again holding its annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive. On the second Saturday in May, which is this coming Saturday, May 13, citizens are asked to fill a bag with healthy, non-perishable food items and place it by your mailbox for your letter carrier to pick up and deliver to area food banks and food pantries. For those who have a PO Box, you can leave your food bag at the post office. Items such as pasta, cereal, oatmeal, canola oil, peanut butter are suggested, as are canned items such as beans, fruit, vegetables, soup, tuna, meat, and sauce. They say to please avoid glass containers. The premiere partner for the event is the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Other national partners include the United States Postal Service, AFL-CIO, Kellogg’s, Valpak, CVS, United Way, Vericast, the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, and local food partners.
