Stamp out Hunger campaign does well

Local letter carriers, other postal employees and volunteers participated in the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the nation. Letter carriers in more 10,000 cities and towns collected non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in post offices. Items collected locally were delivered to Antioch M.B. Church, which is a Red Cross shelter, where it is available for needy families. NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive has delivered more than one billion pounds of food the past 24 years. With 49 million people facing hunger every day in America, including nearly 16 million children, this drive is one way you can help those in your own city or town who need help. Helping to unload a mail truck full of donated items are, left to right,  Ray Brown, Woodrow Nelson, Rev. Martin Washington and Paul Rhodes.
