This is just a small reminder: tomorrow is the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive. This year, perhaps more so than in any year of recent memory, food banks around the country are in desperate need of your contributions. Many warehouses across our great land are empty! With gas prices at a record high, more and more people are relying on local food banks. Working people like you. Food banks are pressed beyond their ability to serve and in many communities people are being turned away.
This food drive is always on a Saturday and I don’t know about you, but I tend to get busy and forget these things. So, this reminder is as much for me as it is for you. Please remember to leave your non-perishables for your carrier tomorrow. Every can helps.
(and just so I don’t forget, I’m leaving mine on the porch RIGHT NOW!)
Thank you for taking the time to remind us all of this very important day. Hunger exists every day– but it isn’t every day that things are made so easy for us to do something about it.

I did my stomping.

Damn, I missed this post because I have not been near a computer for 24 whole hours (Sasha’s graduation SAY HALLELUJAH). However, my local grocery store keeps a running food drive going with a nice convenient drop-off right there in the store. Anyway, yes, donate food y’all!

EXACTLY! I wish more stores had drop off bins. Congrats on your graduate!~W
Happy Mother’s Day to one of my favorite moms! I am out of town, otherwise I always do the letter carrier’s food drive. I am one of the few in my neighborhood.

Oh, thank you! I hope you had a great Mother’s Day. I tell you, I’m swimming in my “to-do” list in order to leave tomorrow. OY!! ~W
