Held last Saturday, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive is the largest, nationally-held food drive, and locally, we were honored to once again be the recipient of the donations. With the support of dozens of Fairfield and Southport letter carriers who volunteered to pick up donations at residents’ mailboxes, volunteers and countless donors, we collected and sorted 15,699 lbs (or 7.8 tons!) of non-perishables to help stock our Food Pantry.
