Reminder: Stamp Out Hunger 2011 is May 14

I love giving back to my community.  It breaks my heart to think of people going hungry!  This Saturday, May 14, be sure to leave your letter carrier some non-perishable goods. Each year, letter carriers collect goods to donate to local food banks.

Some ideas of what to donate, courtesy of the Stamp Out Hunger website:

Donate items like canned meats, fish, soup, vegetables; bottled juice, pasta, cereal and rice that do not require refrigeration. Please do not include items that have expired or are in glass containers.

I hope that lots of my readers donate! Smaller post offices may or may not be participating. Call ahead to your local post office to ensure that they are participating.
