The 2010 National Association of Letter Carriers’ 10th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive collected more than 7,500 pounds of food Saturday.

All donations were kept locally and distributed to four food banks: St. Vincent DePaul, First Christian Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Keeler Church of God.

The NALC, National Rural Letter Carriers Association and the Dowagiac Post Office would like to thank all who donated food or volunteered their time to make the drive a success.
