Wilton Postal Food Drive is Saturday, November 18

Letter Carriers in Wilton are delivering grocery bags and suggested shopping lists to all postal customers this week in advance of the Wilton Postal Food Drive on Saturday, November 18.

With 10% of people living in Fairfield County struggling with food insecurity – including more than 14% of children who don’t know where their next meal is coming from – the P2P Food Pantry is a critical safety net for our neighbors in Wilton, Westport, Weston and Norwalk.

People are encouraged to leave a bag of non-perishable groceries at their mailbox this Saturday morning or drop it off at the Wilton Post Office on Hubbard Road. P2P is promoting healthy eating habits, so we encourage you to donate items that are low in sodium, no salt added, unsweetened, no sugar added and made from whole grains.

Your donations are much appreciated. With your help, we can help your neighbors and fight hunger.
