Person to Person: Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

“This year’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive [on Saturday, May 11], sponsored by Cuisinart and Conair, was a major success, with letter carriers collecting over 40,000 pounds of food for P2P’s food pantries. The effort was supported by more than 200 volunteers on the day, plus additional help throughout the week sorting donations. This strong volunteer effort was key to the drive’s success, reflecting the community’s dedication to combating food insecurity and aiding local families. Thanks to everyone who donated and volunteered!
