BRATTLEBORO-On the second Saturday in May — May 9 this year — letter carriers and rural letter carriers throughout the region will be “carrying out” the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, an annual one-day food drive with nationwide scope and local impact.
We ask all who are able to join us in participating. Simply leave a bag of nonperishable food items by your mailbox or drop it at your post office. Healthy and high-protein donations are encouraged. No glass containers, please.
Our partners — Vermont Foodbank, Putney Food Shelf, Bread of Life Food Shelf in Vernon, and others — will distribute your donations to those in need.
Checks made out to Vermont Foodbank will also be accepted.
Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors!
