Disappointed in food drive!

June 17th, 2011 at 09:15 pm

I wonder how the food drive for the food bank went today. I drove into town to buy steaks on sale and I did not see even one bag of food hanging off of anyone's mailbox. I live in a very nice neighborhood and no one had put anything out. I had two bags, one outside the mail box and one inside. I have so more food for tomorrow's pick up. I don't see why everybody can't help out a little.
I got a pinecone survey check today for $3, the braves won and the stockmarket went up yesterday ( a little) so I have $5 to add to the challenge.

Prev. total $11,108.00
today 5.00
new total $11.113.00

lucky 13!

    We used to have people that would put things out for the post office but other people would go around and steal it all or go through it and take what they wanted and leave the less desirable stuff, so we just took ours down ourselves. It is sad that it has come to that, but what are you going to do?

    The USPS does a food drive each May, so maybe people already gave to that?

    We always give to the USPS food drive each May too, and we were the only ones on our cul-d-sac. If everyone gave at least one item, that would really help the food banks.

    Is this one sponsored by your post office? Our post office does it at a different time. I don't donate to the post office one because I don't want to burden the letter carrier who does the whole block of 54 house (some are 2-family flats) on foot. The post office gives their collection to the same umbrella organization for food banks as do most food drives here. So I give food elsewhere and don't bother the letter carrier.
