Stamp Out Hunger

The National Association of Letter Carriers and the United States Postal Service will partner once again to help needy families in communities across the country through the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.

On Saturday, both organizations will collect bagged non-perishable food items such as canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice. All collected items will later be delivered to The Beacon, a local community assistance agency and food pantry.

Local residents can help out in the effort by placing food donations near mailboxes before letter carriers arrive on Saturday. The USPS asks that residents do not donate food items that have expired or items in glass containers, and that only non-perishable items be donated. Only donations at residences, not businesses, will be picked up.
