Stamp Out Hunger food drive postponed

From staff reports

The annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the food drive, local letter carriers pick up non-perishable food items as they deliver the mail. The collected food items are then donated to local food banks.

This year’s event is now planned for a Saturday in September. More details will be announced at that time.

Jim Janidlo, a Franklin letter carrier, said although the food drive is being postponed, area residents can still help local food banks by contacting them and donating items to them directly.
