Residents are invited to participate by leaving a sturdy bag containing canned goods or non-perishable foods next to their mailbox before the time of their regular mail delivery May 8. Staple items such as canned meat products (tuna, chicken, ham, spaghetti with meatballs, etc.), peanut butter, canned vegetables and fruits, soups, and macaroni and cheese are particularly needed. Food items should be in non-breakable containers, such as boxes and cans. Local letter carriers will collect donations from homes throughout the region and deliver them to the Freestore Foodbank. There, the food will be distributed through a network of more than 350 non-profit partner agencies serving the Freestore Foodbank’s 20 county distribution area.
