Letter Carriers Collect Food Tomorrow

Now, this drive is an easy one. As easy as putting out the mail. It's even easier, because you don't need a stamp.

During their usual deliveries tomorrow, Grafton mail carriers will join in the effort to Stamp Out Hunger, a nationwide effort to combat hunger.

Letter carriers pick up non-perishable donations that are left out in, or near, the mailbox on that Saturday.

About 50 million Americans — including 17 million children — now live in families that lack sufficient food.

The Postal Service, the National Association of Letter Carriers, Campbell Soup Company, Feeding America and other partner organizations are working together to collect food donations on May 12.

This is the nation’s largest single-day food drive in local communities across America — including Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.e mailbox tomorrow.

The food collected in Grafton is delivered to the Grafton Food Pantry.

“That always helps because we get low this time of year,’’ said Judy Demers, a clerk in the office who helps with the pantry.

Donations to the pantry may also be brought to the Town Clerk’s office during hours when the Municipal Center is open.
