Monroe, National Association of Letter Carriers

To the editor:

The National Association of Letter Carriers, in cooperation with the United States Postal Service, would like to ask you to help us Stamp Out Hunger. The largest single day food drive in the United States is scheduled for Saturday, May 12. This is the 20th annual food drive, and the 70 million pounds of food collected last year brought the total collected to more than 1 billion pounds.

This is 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 four of those people are children, which is a very startling statistic. You can help by placing non-perishable food items in the bags provided by your mailbox on May 12, and your letter carrier will make sure that it is donated to the Green County Food Pantry.

Please help us Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 12.
