National Association of Letter Carriers
Food Drive!
Join us for the BIGGEST food
drive of the year!
If you live in Bloomington, leave a bag of non-perishable food by your mailbox
the morning of Saturday, May 10 for your letter carrier to pick up. All
donations will be given to several area agencies serving the hungry in our
community.
We also need MANY volunteers to help us the day of the food drive! Pick
up food from neighborhoods or help receive and sort donations at one of the Post
Office branches.
