Got a postcard in the mail today, from the National Association of Letter Carriers. This Saturday, May 10 they are having a Stamp Out Hunger food drive. According to the postcard, here’s what to do:
- Put some non-perishable food items in a bag and place it by your mailbox.
- Your letter carrier will pick it up and deliver to local food banks.
The kinds of things you can leave include canned meats, fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, canned vegetables, cereal and rice. Maybe go grocery shopping Saturday morning and have the kids pick out a few things? They can leave them in a bag for the carrier and watch for the pick-up.
For more information check out the site for the event. There are ways to spread the word, you can even put the icon as your IM buddy image. This, by the way, is a great idea for folks to show their charitable affiliations, don’t you think? All charities should have a buddy icon you can use for IM. Very web 2.0
