It's Letter Carrier Food Drive Day
May 13, 2011
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 14, 2011 is the annual National Association of Letter Carriers' Food Drive. This is a really easy way to help "Stamp Out Hunger". Fill a bag with non perishable food items and set it outside beside your mailbox. You can also include personal care items.
Last year the drive collected a record 77.1 million pounds of food. However, food pantries are are requesting a 30% increase in donations in order to meet the needs of the hungry.
To give an extra help in alleviating hunger, Campbell's Soups which has participated in the drive previously is donating a million pounds of food. Campbell's also pays for half of the postcards that carriers place in your mailbox. They will also donate an additional pound of food every time someone logs onto facebook or twitter and clicks on "cause".
What could be simpler for each of us to do. A bag of canned goods and a facebook click.
