The National Association of Letter Carriers is participating in a food drive here in the San Diego area to benefit the San Diego Foodbank. How cool is that?
The statistics on the number of folks who face hunger in San Diego is pretty staggering, according to the SDFB...about 480,000 (with almost 200,000 of them children under the age of 18). And the problem has worsened in recent times due to the escalating unemployment.
The San Diego Food bank has been around since 1997 as a resource for government and donated food to help poor families, senior citizens and children. Monetary donations are also always welcome and can provide a substantial impact - $1 means food for 3 meals.
You can also donate food virtually with a few clicks of your mouse. Neat, huh?
I think it's pretty impressive for the Letter Carriers to participate in this wonderful effort to help deal with hunger in San Diego. Residents are asked to put out their canned foods and other nonperishable items out by their mail box on MAY 9, 2009.
So go on, San Diego, let's help a little bit. How much easier can it get?
