The 2011 Letter Carrier’s Food Drive, to stamp out hunger, is scheduled for this coming Saturday, May 14, 2011. Make sure that you mark your calendar.
WFC Member Agencies all over Washington State will be the recipients of the community donations to the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Your local postal carrier will pick up the food you leave by your mailbox on Saturday, May 14th. The U.S. Postal Service is making it very easy to get involved; you just have to get it down to your mailbox.
Spread the word-it doesn’t get any easier to help than this!
Postmasters are stressing that people should put their food donations out early Saturday to insure that their packages are picked up.
This is an incredible donation day for food banks across the state. Please put out non-perishable foods that are not beyond their expiration date by your mailbox. Giving can be contagious so let’s talk to our neighbors and make a big statement across the state.
Here is a video of why community support is so important. The woman speaking uses one of the food banks in Western Washington. They have a family of six and a newborn. They just missed qualifying for food stamps.
Thank you and thanks to the postal workers who make it all possible.
