USPS ♥ Stamp out Hunger ♥ Food Drive

Saturday - May 14, is the “STAMP OUT HUNGER” Food Drive

Brought to you by the United States Postal Service

If you are looking for a great way to Pay it Forward in your own back yard. Look no further! United States residents have the opportunity to help stock local food banks this Saturday! Just leave some non perishable food items by your mail box and your postal carrier will see that it is delivered to local food banks and shelters. How easy is that?! If you do not have a mail box, you can drop off items at the post office. I bet they would even take them a day early! ☺

On this Fabulous Friday, when you get home from work, go put some items by the mailbox for tomorrow. This way you are certain not to forget!

Let’s team up with the USPS and help Stamp out Hunger!

Thanks for the reminder, Joni! Those postal workers are good people - always looking for ways to help out in the community. By the way, I drove through Huntsville today, and saw the sign pointing to Riverside. I thought to myself, "That's where Joni lives!" :)

Joni, saw you made the AR Newsletter today with your post about the USPS Food Drive. Great post and I'm planning on doing a similar post to different groups here on the Rain. Not trying to steal any of your thunder; just trying to get the word out too!
