Thank you! UCM Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Success

Thanks to caring community members, dedicated volunteers, and especially all the members of Union Branch 567 of the National Association of Letter Carriers, United Community Ministries (UCM) received over 9,100 of food donations from this year’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on May 14.

"What is especially great about this year’s collection is the large amount of heart-healthy food items that were donated, including low-salt, low-sugar, and whole grain items – along with quality items for our Food Pantry from higher-end grocery stores," says Richard Dobber, Director of Social Services.
