On May 9, our community took part in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the country organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers.

Residents were invited to leave a bag of nonperishable food donations near their mailbox before mail delivery. Local letter carriers collected donations along their routes, and all food collected through the White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights/Shoreview, and Circle Pines post came to the White Bear Area Food Shelf.

Together, we collected 32,000 pounds of food—shattering last year’s record of 24,000 pounds.
