I ask all area residents to help the U.S. Postal Service in its annual drive to Stamp Out Hunger – this year Saturday, May 14. This year marks the 30th year of the food drive operated by postal workers all across America. Residents and business are encouraged to place a bag or more of nonperishable items next to your mail boxes the morning of May 14. Your mail carrier will retrieve those bags, and what is contributed will be delivered to food pantries in the Cape area.
There are hundreds of families and individuals who depend upon these food pantries to sustain them in these difficult times. Some are homeless, but many more are working poor needing this extra help to get by.
We postal workers give our time and efforts to help stock six Rehoboth-Lewes area food pantries, but we and they depend on the generous contributions of area residents in this effort to sustain those in need of a hand.
On Saturday, May 14, every letter carrier will pick up bags of nonperishable food that our customers put out in or next to their mail boxes. Our food pantries and our neighbors in need depend upon what others are wiling to contribute to help those less fortunate.
