STAMP OUT HUNGER

Do you have a plastic or paper bag around the house anywhere? Yes. OK, right now - go get it. (Then come back).

Oh, you're back, good.

Do you have a marker or a pen handy? You do, great. Write this on the bag in large print: Saturday May 10th. For my letter carrier.


Got it? Now take the bag to the kitchen with you.

First: look through all your canned food and see if you have anything that you won't eat, don't particularly want, or just want to give away. Place them in the bag, one at a time after carefully checking the expiration date. If it is expired do not put it in the bag.

Please, do not include items in glass containers.

Second: look through all your unopened pasta, beans, rice, and cereal (in other words non-perishable foods). Have more than you need? Follow the same process as above - Check that expiration date before putting it in the bag.

Oh, your bag isn't big enough - I'll wait while you get another one.

Great!

Saturday morning before your letter carrier comes, place your food donation at your mailbox.

You will benefit by the good feeling you have from knowing you are helping to STAMP OUT HUNGER.
