Saturday May 14 2011 National Food Drive - Thanks To Letter Carriers

real estate delaware county paThis Saturday is the National Association of Letter Carriers STAMP OUT HUNGER Food Drive.  To participate all you have to do is make sure you put out a bag by your mailbox before your Letter Carrier arrives to ensure your donation gets picked up and delivered to a local food bank.

Please donate non-perishable food items that are not expired and not in glass containers.

Donate items like canned soups, vegetables, meats, and juices or packaged pasta, cereal and rice. 

This is such an easy way to help others who are in need.  Even if it is one can or one item, it makes a difference and you will feel good that you donated.

Thanks for the heads up....and if you go to Campbell's Soup Company will donate one pound of food for every Facebook user who goes to the Stamp Out Hunger page and hits "Like".

Gloria, I usually leave a bag of stuff for them to pick up. We didn't get a notice from our carrier this year. We're at the new house and I"ve had my doubts about him anyway. Leaves the wrong mail all the time. :)

Hi Gloria~

Thanks for this great information. I will prepare a bag for our carrier today and use the info Ron provided too!

We did a Thanksgiving food drive for the local food bank this year outside a local grocery store, and the wind chill factor on our four hour watch was ten below.

This will be a breeze!

Have a great weekend,

Gloria, it can't get easier than stuffing your mailbox with food to be picked up.  The mail carriers are doing a great job, they volunteer a lot of extra time doing it as well as they have to put all those donations away while still delivering mail.
