Letter to the editor: Help Stamp Out Hunger

National Association of Letter Carriers

To the editor:

The National Association of Letter Carriers and the National Association of Rural Carriers, in partnership with the United States Postal Service, would like to ask you to help us Stamp Out Hunger. This is the largest single day food drive in the United States and it will be on Saturday, May 10 this year.

This is the 22nd annual food drive, and as always, comes at a critical time of year for the food insecure. School food programs that ensure that children are adequately fed during the school year are not available in the summer months. One in five families are food insecure in the United States, and one in every four are children, which is a very startling statistic.

There will be plastic bags that will be delivered with your mail the week before the food drive. All you need to do is place non-perishable food items in it, and put it by or on your mailbox on Saturday, May 10, and your letter carrier will make sure that it is all donated directly to the Green County Food Pantry. Please help us Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 10. Thank you.
