Take a step toward stamping out hunger

During the past week, local letter carriers have been stuffing mailboxes with bright yellow plastic bags, signalling that it is once again time for the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

The 24th annual nationwide event, set for Saturday, May 14, involves the participation of 175,000 letter carriers in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states who pick up donations left by residents near their mailboxes along postal routes.
