Although you likely received notification from the U.S. Postal Service about its annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, we wanted to make sure you don’t forget to put out nonperishable foods for your letter carrier Saturday if you want to participate.
The food will be delivered to local food banks such as North Helpline, which helps families in North Seattle from its Lake City location at 12736 33rd Ave. N.E.
The Postal Service asks that you donate items such as canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice, but make sure they’re not expired and that they’re not in glass containers. And be sure to get your donation out to the mailbox before your letter carrier arrives.
If you’re interested in more ways to give back to North Helpline, you’re invited to stop by at 4 tonight as it unveils its new front window gallery as a kickoff for its new Thursday night food bank.
