Can you help sort food on May 11?
The nationwide USPS Help Stamp Out Hunger food drive is coming up on Saturday,May 11. There are two ways to help us on that day:
1) Leave nonperishable, unexpired food in or near your mailbox for your letter carrier to pick up.
2) (This is the one we're really interested in!) Come to the food pantry (12 Mudge Way, Bedford) any time between 1:30 and 6:00 to sort and store the donations as they come in.
Food drives provide needed food, but they also create a lot of work. Please take a few hours and stop by to help!
