Are you participating in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive tomorrow? This is our chance to easily help out others with items from our stockpile!
- All you have to do is collect non-perishable food items* in a bag
- Leave them at your mailbox on Saturday, May 12th
- Your letter carrier will pick them up and deliver them to local food banks and pantries
*Donate items like canned meats, fish, soup, vegetables; bottled juice, pasta, cereal and rice that do not require refrigeration. Please do not include items that have expired or are in glass containers. More information here.
I am participating and put out a bag with boxed cereals, canned soups and vegetables. I would encourage other to do so also as not only does it help people in need, but it is a good opportunity to check the dates on existing items in your pantry and rotate to put items that will expire soonest toward the front (if you don’t already do so) and purge anything that is expired.
