Satuday, May 10 the United States Postal Service will be holding their annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.  How can you participate?  It’s easy!!

All you need do is to place a box or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before their letter carrier delivers mail on Saturday. The carrier will do all the rest. The food is taken back to the postal office, sorted, and then delivered to an area food bank or pantry. There it is available for needy families.

What a great way to help out hungry families in our community!
