Annual Post Office
Food
Drive
On Saturday May 10, 2008 the National
Association of
Letter Carriers will be collecting your donations of
nonperishable
food. This is the 14th year that we have
been recipients of this canned food drive. This is helpful
to us in providing emergency food boxes each
month. Many of us have had the privilege
of working along with the Letter Carriers
on this project. Boy Scout Troop #221 has
also helped collect food in Turlock in previous
years. Watch for notification from the
post office in your mailbox, and please remember to put
your non-perishable donations
near your mailbox on May 10th.
The 2009 "A Legacy of
Hope" event will be held on
November
15th at Sky Trek Aviation.
Stay tuned for details!

Emergency Food Box
Needs Increase
The economy has had an
effect on all of us. The number of people served through
our emergency food box program has increased by 27% this
year compared to the
first three months in 2007. If it were not for the caring
and giving people and organizations in our communities
there would be many more hungry people in Stanislaus
County. The elderly, the disabled and the low income families
are trying to stretch
their limited income to cover the everyday necessities
of life. Thanks for helping us
provide food to the hungry. PLEASE continue your generosity
by initiating canned
food drives at your place of employment, schools or as
a church project. If you have
any other ideas we would love to hear them.
