Members of the National Association of Letter Carriers will be collecting non-perishable food for the needy Saturday, May 13 from U.S. Postal Service customers statewide.
Postal customers can simply place their food donations near their mail receptacles Saturday morning. All donated food that letter carriers collect in Maine will be used to replenish local food pantries throughout the state. Food donors are asked not to leave outside anything in glass containers or any perishable food for Letter Carriers to collect.
Gov. John Baldacci has issued a proclamation declaring Saturday, May 13 to be Letter Carriers Food Drive Day throughout the state.
Rural carriers in most communities will be participating. Rural postal customers should check with their rural letter carrier or with their Postmaster to verify participation in their community.
