Mail Carriers to Collect Food Bank Donations

From Times Staff Reports

Mail carriers in Ventura County will join their counterparts across the nation in collecting food donations from postal customers May 11. The 10th annual event is the largest single-day food drive in the country.

Because food banks report dwindling supplies as summer approaches, the National Assn. of Letter Carriers and the U.S. Postal Service sponsors the drive on the weekend before Mother’s Day.

Nonperishable, unopened foods may be left next to mailboxes for carriers to pick up while on their delivery routes.
