Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Saturday, May 9
The National Association of Letter Carriers will again sponsor the Stamp Out Hunger food drive on Saturday, May 9. This is a major source of food for us and we encourage everyone to participate. To donate food, leave nonperishable food items in or near your mailbox and the letter carriers will deliver all Bedford donations to us. No expired items or glass containers, please. We can also use volunteers to sort and store the donations. If you'd like to help, please come to Bedford Town Center (12 Mudge Way, downstairs) at 3:00 on the 9th and plan to stay until 6:00. Thanks to the Letter Carriers, donors and volunteers for the support!
