Stumble It!
Stuff Your Mailbox May 12 in the USA
Put some packaged pasta, canned beans and soup ( Campbell's is a sponsor) into your mailbox tomorrow, along with those lovely thank-you notes none of us ever writes anymore.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, an AFL-CIO union started in 1889, is running its 15 annual food drive, said to be the largest in the country. Food gathered in all 50 states will be distributed locally to food banks, shelters, and so on. Apparently the letter carriers collected over 70 million pounds of food in 2006.
Not that one day's pickup and delivery of food will "Stamp Out Hunger," but still, it's something.
Thanks for the reminder. I like doing this. The only thing is I feel sorry for the mail carrier. It probably gets heavy.
