Attention All Vegetable Gardeners!

Please consider planting some extra vegetable plants this year and donating some of the fruits of your labor to the food bank. Nutritious fresh vegetables are always in high demand. Our agencies and clients love to have fresh vegetables to eat during the summer months.

Thank you to all the letter carriers that participated in the National Food Drive.
