Post Office donates items for food drive

Submitted by Pittsburg1 on
When people think of hunger, often, they envision foreign countries such as Africa, Asia, or China. However, hunger is an issue America faces right here at home as well. One group that sees the harsh realities of this epidemic are our postal workers.
 
Each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food items from postal customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Pittsburg who are in need.
 
Last year the United States Postal Service (USPS) collected over 74 million pounds of food nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the course of its 21- year history, the drive has collected over one billion pounds of food, thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the entire nation, including Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Book Review by Nancy Murillo

Submitted by Pittsburg1 on
“When God Breaks Your Heart: Choosing Hope in the Midst of Faith-Shattering Circumstances” by Ed Underwood
 
This book appealed to me on a very personal level. Some titles just speak to you. Some journeys you must experience. It adjusts your perspective and makes you better.
