Dear Editor:

We with the National Association of Letter Carriers and the National Rural Carriers Association will have our 26th Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 12.

Last year over fifteen local postal installations collected over 91,000 pounds of food that was distributed to over 40 church pantries and charitable organizations. This year we hope to collect 95,000 pounds of food. Participating in the Food Drive is easy. Just leave a non-perishable food donation in a bag in or by your mailbox on Saturday, May 12. The postal carrier will do the rest.

The carriers ask that all citizens of the Shoals area assist us in our effort to end hunger. Thank you.

Steven McCrary, Food Drive Coordinator
