Stamp Out Hunger


Tomorrow is the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Learn more about it here.

To help feed America's hungry, simply leave non-perishable food items in a bag at your mail box for pick up by your letter carrier . The NALC hopes to break the billion pound mark this year for the 18 year history of the food drive. Even during the deep gloom of recession, last year's drive produced 73.4 million pounds so they will probably reach that goal.

One of those dearest to us is a letter carrier and he is proud to do his part for this important campaign. (A we are proud of him for doing it.)
He tells me that a marvelous and amazing amount of food is picked up each year, with one family leaving four or five bags of groceries at their mail box....what great folks live here in America.

**Donate items like canned meats, fish, soup, juice and vegetables, and pasta, cereal and rice. Please do not include items that have expired or are in glass containers.**
