This Saturday, May 10th is the National Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive by the National Assocation of Letter Carriers. In it's 14th year, this is the nations largest one day food drive. Last year it collected over 70 million lbs of food! Amazing huh!
Your family can participate by putting out no perishable food items next to your mailbox this Saturday. Your letter carrier will pick up the food and bring it to your local post office where it will be sorted and delivered to a local food bank. It is a great way to help out the hungry in your own community.

thanks.
thanks for the reminder...we have two bags loaded with dry goods ready for pick up.
This follows landon learning about not wasting food in school because people are hungry and can't always afford food. The other day he came home and I had given him too many raisins for lunch but when i opened his lunchbox they were all gone when i said"wow you sure ate a lot of raisins" he said "no I threw them in the trash because sometimes people look there for food". so this was a good way to show him a better way to provide food for people less fortunate.
