North Escambia Residents Help ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ In Food Drive
May 11, 2008
Dozens of mail carriers collected hundreds of pounds of food Saturday at mailboxes across North Escambia for the 16th annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive.
Residents were asked to participate in the annual event by leaving a bag of nonperishable food by their mailboxes for their mail carrier to collect.
The food collected in North Escambia Saturday will go to the Manna Food Bank, ACTS Ministries; Warrington Emergency Aid; and St. Vincent de Paul in Pensacola for local distribution. The bulk of the food will go to the Manna Food Bank.
The local chapter of the National Association of Letter Carriers hoped to collect quarter million pounds of food Saturday across Northwest Florida. Last year, local letter carriers collected 246,000 pounds of food. That accounted for about one third of all the food Manna collected last year.
