Support Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive - Saturday, May 12, 2018
USPS letter carriers will deliver donated food to the Ossining Food Pantry
On Saturday, May 12, 2018, letter carriers with other postal employees will participate in the 26th annual Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive.
Across Ossining, letter carriers will collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and deliver them to the Ossining Food Pantry. All food items will go directly to our clients during Thursday evening and Friday morning distribution at Trinity Church, as well as to our local day care centers and the home-bound needy.
Martin B. Engelhardt, Jr., president of the Ossining Food Pantry states: "We are most grateful for the work to be done by the letter carriers and other post office personnel to bring the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive to the Ossining area. This is a wonderful way to supplement our resources so we may better serve those in need."
