Are you going to help the Post Office stamp out hunger on Sat?

Yes, mine is all packed, but I went with boxes because so much of it is canned stuffs - fruit, veggies, soups, etc. I put the lighter stuff, cereal, pasta, etc. in a paper bag. I'm so happy to see so many seniors on this forum participating. And to the poster who worried about the carriers having enough to do without all this extra - since the USPS is a co-sponsor of the whole shebang, I'm quite sure they are prepared for any overload.

If I can get to the store before the mail man comes I am. I don't have much on hand to donate and there has been some insidious rumors of my having to work on Saturday. There is a post office right across the street from my apt. I guess I could just drop it off there if I miss the mailman. I always try to support food drives because a small donation can help a lot. I also always kick a couple of dollars when I can to muscular dystrophy when the grocers are collecting. A couple of bucks when I can to the " booby race", (Race for a cure, breast cancer.) These are all a way to donate small and help big.

Thanks for the reminder. Of all the food drives, this is my favorite. Several years ago my young granddaughter helped me fill the bag with cans from our pantry, but we forgot to put the bag by the mailbox. When we saw our "mail lady" pass by our house, we realized our mistake. Little Granddaughter was so sad. We grabbed the bag, jumped into the car and dashed off to find the mail truck. Not just any mail deliverer would do. It had to be our mail lady. After several minutes of cruising neighborhood streets, we found her and added our contribution to her collection.

I've never made that mistake again.

Good timely question.

We are donating canned soups - tuna fish and canned fruit.

Minute Rice - cooked type cereals - pancake mix and syrup.

We also donate to our local food bank for Christmas

and Thanksgiving.

We donate - when the Scouts have their food drive.

It's a good thing.

Yes, but it seems to me to be a lot of extra work for the post lady,

I picked healthy food for my bag. A large bag of dry beans,brown rice, old fashioned oats,a box of bisquick and a cake mix. Oh, I forgot, a large bag of egg noodles too.

What's in you're bag?

i bypass to the positioned up place of work to purchase my stamps yet have not been in quite a jointly as now on condition that I pay very almost all invoice via way of the internet. The final stamps i offered have been one cent makeup stamps to function the two cent advance to the stamps I had handy. I used to have a positioned up place of work approximately 4 blocks away. a pair of years in the past, I have been given a letter interior the mail telling me they have been last that positioned up place of work and "for my convenience" have been commencing up a clean and better positioned up place of work 6 miles away. I form of have been given a snigger out of that.

That's on post job search " to do" list.Plan on getting rice and pasta and a few cans of food.

I never heard of the campaign. I do not think it is happening here in my building where she has 175 post boxes to deliver to. If it were happening, I would certainly contribute!

thanks for the reminder, I have to put baby food on my shopping list. it's not an aisle I generally frequent, but today I will purchase cereal and what ever else is there that is not glass. I think people overlook this fundamental food

The carrier has enough to carry around without the added weight.
