Letter carriers food drive is Saturday

PROVIDENCE – Rhode Islanders will have a chance to help neighbors in need through the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 13, coordinated by the National Association of Letter Carriers.

Leave a bag of healthy, non-perishable food items near your mailbox Saturday morning and your letter carrier will pick up your donation and deliver it to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, where it will be distributed to food pantries throughout the state.

Most-needed items include canned soups and vegetables, peanut butter, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, canned beans, tuna, and healthy cereals. The food collected will be sorted by volunteers who check for use-by dates and damaged packaging.
