“Stamp Out Hunger” Annual U.S. Postal Food Drive is Saturday, May 11

“Stamp Out Hunger” Annual U.S. Postal Food Drive is Saturday, May 11

On the second Saturday of May each year the letter carriers in Elk Grove will be conducting a food drive to assist the less fortunate in our city. The U.S. Postal Food Drive is the country’s largest one day-collection. “We are truly grateful for the response to the drive in past years and the dedication of our local letter carriers,” said Executive Director, Marie Jachino.

The Elk Grove Food Bank Services is always in need of a helping hand, but Saturday, May 11, we will get the help of several hands. All over Elk Grove letter carriers will deliver mail and pick up canned goods and non-pershiable food.

Remember the Postal Carrier food drive is Saturday, May 11, the day before another important day, Mothers Day!
