Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Letter Carriers Food Drive


--by mindyjourney, posted Jun 7, 2025

Many local post offices in the USA hold a food drive on the 2nd Saturday in May. Postal customers are invited to fill the bag provided with non-perishables and leave by the mailbox for pick-up.

Community groups, such as the Boy Scouts, help pick-up the donations, sort/weigh and redistribute to food banks.

We’ve filled our bag, plus went the extra by tucking an encouraging note, some $ and a Dove of Action inside a carton of cheese crackers.

Do what you can and if possible focus on that EXTRA, my kind friends! 🕊️ 💪

Some people have never had a birthday cake on their birthday or their family hasn't had the funds to do cake, decorations etc.
