Did you feed your mailbox today?

[Omaha Steve]

I meant to post a reminder that today was “Stamp Out Hunger” thanks to the USPS. We filled our over sized mailbox.

I've been so busy, I just haven't had much time to post.

1. I did. One of my neighbors on the pipestem did too. n/t

2. I did.

In my area they made a huge haul!

3. We filled the bag that was left in our mailbox.

I could have just as easily taken it across the road to an old broke buddy. I used to have him over for dinner quite often until I noticed he was putting food in the pockets of his jacket. (joke)

4. I wish I would have known

Would have needed to know yesterday, the mailman comes real early on Saturday.

5. Two bags packed full.

I look forward to doing this every year.

6. We filled our bag.

7. I forgot, but our mail carrier is also our neighbor...

Had my son take her our sack this evening.

[shraby]

8. Sure did.

9. I like my mail carrier, so I went to the non-walmart store and bought two trays

of canned Green beans and took them to the Post Office so he would not have to haul them around all day.

About every other month I also buy canned veggies by the case and take them to our Hope in Action office.

10. Gave it directly to my postman. nt

[Raine]

11. No, my carrier made it clear the last time I put out food that

he didn't want to bother. I literally had to run after him with my bags of food, this year I wasn't even left a card to inform me they were doing it. I'll do it on my own and take it to a food bank myself.

13. Well, that sucks.

My carrier of many years rocks. Great guy. Goes out of his way in many ways.

[blaze]

12. Oh crap!

I fully intended to... dang.

(I *do* make a monthly donation to Food Bank of the Rockies, so I'm not gonna let myself get too guilt ridden.

Still... I *really* like our mail guy and wanted to contribute.

[Metatron]

14. Yes, I did.

And, it's because of your post the other day, Steve! I didn't receive a notice from the post office this year, so thanks for reminding me.

[BiggJawn]

15. No.

The bag was too big. I hung it on the door-latch thingee.

Must have weighed almost 20 pounds.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I set ours outside next to our mail slot.

I saw him get it.

I had nearly forgotten, but then I looked at the bag they'd given us. Luckily our mailman doesn't come way early.

So glad I can help!

[bigwillq]

17. No

I wasn't aware of it. In my defense, it's been a busy week with work and a family member passing away. I will try to donate to the local food bank soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I'm sorry to hear about your family member, my dear bigwillq...

Nobody is going to get on your case about the food donation.

I hope you're doing OK...

[bigwillq]

23. Thank you (nt)

[Tikki]

19. Sure did...

[tilsammans]

20. Sure did, and . . .

. . . got a little thank-you card in return!

[abolugi]

21. My husband volunteers

for our local food bank and he had pick-up duty today. He filled his Jeep 3 times!
Our little town was very generous. We are very grateful.

[Duppers]

22. yes

My bag was so heavy I worried about it tearing and that felt good.

[silverlib]

24. I did! Thanks to the DU reminders! n/t
