Help Stamp Out Hunger on May 10
Glosslip is excited to be a part of nationwide campaign to help eliminate the suffering of those who don't have enough resources or money to buy food for their families. Of all the things we do here, being in a position to raise awareness for a good cause is what makes running this site worthwhile.
We will be posting about this again as the donation date draws closer, but in the meantime, please feel free to spread the word to your family, friends and neighbors about this great initiative. Here's a press release about the program:
On Saturday, May 10, 2008 , the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will collect food donations to benefit those at greatest hunger risk in an effort to fight hunger during the NALC's annual Stamp Out Hunger! food drive.Beyond the Call of Duty...
• The Stamp Out Hunger! drive is a nationwide effort to provide food to local food banks and pantries, which would otherwise have depleted stocks during the summer months, to help feed the hungry on a daily basis.
• The nation's 230,000 letter carriers will be collecting food donations in more than 10,000 local communities and delivering them to food bank members of America 's Second Harvest – The Nation's Food Bank Network and other hunger relief organizations.
• Last year the letter carriers collected more than 70 million pounds of food from generous Americans, bringing their impressive total to more than 836 million pounds since 1993.
• Campbell Soup Company is supporting this important initiative by kicking off the food drive with a national donation of one million pounds of soup and other food and beverage items that will be donated to food banks across the country.
