Stamp Out Hunger
Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than
10,000 cities and towns across America collect the goodness
and compassion of their postal customers, who participate in
the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the
largest one-day food drive in the nation.
Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association
of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO), with help from rural letter
carriers, other postal employees and other volunteers, the drive
has delivered more than one billion pounds of food the past 20
years.
Carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by
mailboxes and in post offices and deliver them to local
community food banks, pantries and shelters. This year, the
Key Largo Post Office and the Tavernier Post Office will be collecting for the Burton Memorial food pantry.
On May 10, 2014 we will need volunteers to meet in the fellowship center of Burton Memorial as we unload
(tons) of food from the Key Largo Post Office. We will be unloading from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
On May 12, 2014, we will need volunteers to meet in the fellowship center of Burton Memorial as we unload
more food from the Tavernier Post Office. We will be unloading from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
African Well Project
The Burton Men’s Group is sponsoring a project to build
wells in Lofa County, Liberia. This is an incredible
opportunity to save lives and souls. We will be building wells
for villages that have no wells or reasonable access to clean
water. Water-borne illness is a serious problem in this area.
The first two villages designated for wells are Kpayea and
Gbarsulome. We will be following up with much additional
information. Meanwhile, please pray for this joyful project.
