The Letter Carrier Food Drive takes place on Saturday, May 9.    To participate in this event all you need to do is leave a bag of non-perishable food items next to your mail box.   Your letter carrier will collect your donation and bring it back to their home post office.

Volunteers at the post office will then transport the food directly to the local food bank.  In our neck of the woods, that would be the Marin Community Food Bank on Digital Drive in Novato.

The Marin Community Food Bank supports a variety of different programs to help feed the hungry in Marin.   The food you donate goes directly to hungry families, the ill and elderly.

Items such as peanut butter, oatmeal, canned meats, soups, beans, vegetables and fruit are perfect items to donate.  Please consider getting a few extra items this week at the grocery store and leave a bag by your mailbox.

If you wish to find out more about this upcoming event or would like to volunteer or make a donation to the Marin Community Food Bank, please visit their website at www.marinfoodbank.org or contact them at 415-383-1302.

Please help to Stamp Out Hunger.

Now go run!
