Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Although I'm a bit early, I just wanted to remind you that the Saturday before Mother's Day, is also the day for the National Association of Letter Carrier's Food Drive. Every year, those hard working letter carriers deliver the mail, and pick up food which is taken to their local Food Bank or other non-profit with a feeding program.

Over the past few years, I've noticed that a number of homes don't have a bag of grocery next to their post office. This is very disappointing to me, as the NALC Food Drive is perhaps the easiest way to help those in need.

Every year, a few days before the Food Drive, I go through my cabinets and select all of the grocery products that my family no longer eats. These non-profits also use all non-perishable grocery products, including toothpaste, lotion, vitamins, etc. As long as the product won't wilt or melt while sitting next to your mailbox, the letter carrier will pick it up.

Let's honor our Mother's (birth and others), by helping those in need on Saturday, May 9th.

By the way, Happy Mother's Day to you!
