To the editor:
This Saturday, May 10, is the day: The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is back! Sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers, it is the largest one-day food drive in the country, and all the food stays local. That means everything collected in Great Barrington goes directly to The People’s Pantry, where it will help feed our neighbors facing food insecurity.
And it couldn’t be easier. Just leave your donations bagged or boxed (or both!) by your mailbox, and your letter carrier will pick it up while delivering your mail. No need to drive anywhere or drop anything off.
While you are shopping this week, grab a few extra shelf-stable items like peanut butter, canned tuna or chicken, pasta, sauce, rice, or dried beans, then just set it out by your mailbox on the morning of May 10.
Let’s make this our biggest collection yet and prove that helping your community can be as easy as checking the mail!
