Stamp Out Hunger

Letter carriers across America will be delivering mail and delivering hope to families in need. According to the post from NALC.org "Simply leave your donation of non-perishable food in a bag near your mailbox on the second Saturday in May, and your letter carrier will do the rest".

If you don't have a bag, no problem. Simply leave the food in another bag or somewhere it can be grabbed by your letter carrier when they stop by this weekend.

The Need Is Great
