May 9, 2009 - USPS Food Drive

Postal Carriers Will Pick Up Food Parcels

By Pamela M. Olkiewicz
United States Postal Service, Chatsworth

Every year, the United States Postal Service puts on their Food Drive in May.

This year that will be Saturday, May 9th.

The food that is gathered is distributed to area food banks, helping those in our own community.

All you need do is put non-perishable food in a bag and leave it by your mailbox. The carriers will pick it up when they deliver the mail.

This year it is particularly important because of the state of the economy.

I understand there are a lot of people out there who are struggling to make ends meet, but there are also a lot of people who can't even afford to eat.

I encourage any and all support on your part.
