NALC FOOD DRIVE
 
The NALC Food Drive is sponsored by the
National Association of Letter Carriers,
in cooperation with the US Postal Service, United Way and
Decatur Trades & Labor Assembly.
We raised over 62,000 pounds of food in Decatur.
This filled the shelves of 8 local food pantries and will feed
the hungry in our community for nearly 3 months.
 
Representatives from food pantries, United Way and the
U.S. Postal Service joined together
