Press release from Food for People:
Your chance to “Stamp Out Hunger” in our community is coming up! It’s easy to participate in the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive. Just look for a blue bag in your mailbox the week leading up to the food drive, pack it with non-perishable items, and leave it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 9. Your letter carrier will do the rest, collecting donations and delivering them to Food for People and their network of countywide food pantries.
Over the last year, Food for People has seen increased numbers of families and seniors seeking food assistance as inflation continues to affect food prices. Donations from the community are crucial to help our neighbors put food on the table.
The most needed items for the food drive include canned fish and meat, nut butters, soups and stews, and canned fruits and vegetables. Please do not donate home-canned items or food in glass containers.
If you miss your letter carrier on May 9, you can drop your donation off at Food for People in Eureka at 307 W. 14th St. Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 4 PM, or contact the food pantry in your local community.
Find a list of Food for People’s Pantry Network locations and their schedule of operating hours at www.foodforpeople.org/distribution.
