Each year on the second Saturday in May, the US Postal Service, along with the National Association of Letter Carriers and local agencies, collect non-perishable food as part of their campaign to Stamp Out Hunger. In my part of the world, this noble effort is joined by the United Way. To do your part to help feed those in need, you can simply leave a container of non perishable food items at your mailbox on Saturday, May 9th. Your donated items will be collected by your mail carrier and brought to local food banks for distribution. The need for basic food items never goes away, and at this time of year when holiday donations have been depleted, any help is very welcome. Collection day is one week away, so it's not too soon to gather some items to have ready for collection next Saturday. Join me in this effort to make the world a little better place.
