USPS food drive tomorrow, 10 May to aid local food banks. Remember

[niyad]

to set out your contribution of non-perishable goods for your carrier to pick up.The food banks and pantries need all the help they can get.

1. Got mine at the front door for tomorrow..been reminding my friends

[niyad]

3. Mine is by my door as well. I have some concern, since our boxes are

on a very busy street, but it cannot be helped.

2. FYI, not all post offices participate.

5. Well, obviously, this is for those that do. My neighbors and I all got the USPS

flyer in our maiil the other day.

4. Check with your local NALC to see if they're participating. If not, make a cash donation to your local food bank to help

them get through the summer.

6. Thank you for those important reminders.

7. It's hard because some locals are participating but didn't get the reminders out. They're all so understaffed and

overworked, it's been hard to keep this important charity work up.

[niyad]

8. I have been thinking about that. While I hope they get lots of donations, do they

have the staff to handle things. I meant to check with my local branch, but this has been a crazy week.

11. They always need volunteers at the central post offices to manage the donations. The people who are picking up the food

are on the clock and have to keep working/catch up after their vehicles fill up, and it's often on the food shelves -- themselves understaffed -- to manage the donations as they come into the post offices.

Don't get me wrong: The NALC is extremely proud of the work it does for this drive. But it takes a huge effort to get it done, from beyond the NALC.

9. I put mine out tonight.

My mailbox is down a long driveway on a pretty busy road and I always worry the food could be stolen, but there’s nothing I can do about it it.
