Food Drive by Letter Carriers
- Share via
* Sometimes, for an instant, our community becomes focused on one important effort and miracles can be accomplished. A small effort by each of us creates a mountain of caring. The Letter Carrier’s Food Drive on May 11 was such a moment.
The Food Drive was a huge success thanks to the hard work of our mail carriers, hundreds of volunteers and the generosity of Ventura County residents. On a sweltering Saturday, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees, 25 tons of wonderful food flowed from mailboxes countywide through the post offices to FOOD Share. All of the food will be used to help families in need in the communities where it was collected.
