KOSCIUSKO — The 25th Annual “Stamp Out Hunger” held by the National Letter Carriers association will be held this Saturday, May 13. 

Donation may be left out for your letter carrier to pick up.  Please place canned goods or other food items in a bag and hang on your mailbox.  Donor are discouraged giving items in glass for safety purposes. 

Hunger affects about 49 million people around the country, including millions of children and senior citizens. And one in four households with a member currently serving in the US military turns to the Feeding America network for food assistance. Pantry shelves filled up through winter holiday generosity often are bare by late spring. And, with most school meal programs not available during summer months, millions of children must find alternate sources of nutrition.

Food donations will go to the Pantries of Combined Community Services and The Salvation Army in cooperation with the United Way of Kosciusko County.  

For those unable to participate in the food drive, donations may be taken to area post offices. People who have questions about the drive in their area should ask their letter carrier or contact their local post office.
