On Saturday letter carriers in Manchester and Tullahoma will be delivering more than just packages and bills. They will also be delivering much-needed donations to area food pantries.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, the union to which city letter carriers belong, will host its 20th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive on May 12.
The food collected in the local area on Saturday will stay in the community. All the food carriers collect is given to Good Samaritan Food Bank, which then distributes the donations throughout the community. Anyone interested in participating in this year’s Stamp Out Hunger drive is just leave the food to be donated in or on top of their mailboxes. Donations must be nonperishable items in cans, bags or boxes. Expired cans, homemade food and pet food cannot be accepted.
