Hats off to the annual Post Office food drive

Dear Editor: 

On behalf of the many food banks in this area, I want to commend the Postal workers who volunteered for the Annual Post Office food drive.  The food was of excellent quality and in date. During the holidays, donations are plentiful but around this time of year, people forget that hunger is a year around event. There are still many people who are not employed because they are sick, and disabled and even if they were successful in finding employment, it was at a much lower salary. The need of food banks is still a necessity.

The Post Office workers do not have to collect this food, but I admire them so much because their efforts made our pantry at the Jewish Federation’s Jerry Doliner Food Bank brimming with food. 

Please convey to everyone who took part in this food drive, how appreciative we and our clients are that so many people cared to take the time to purchase and deliver this much needed food. 

Bless you for this good deed.

Gloria Max,

Executive Director,
