A Good News Ventures publication
Upland to be part of Food Drive
Every second Saturday
in May, more than 10,000
cities and towns across
America participate in
the Stamp Out Hunger
National Food Drive —
the largest one-day food
drive in the nation. Led
by letter carriers, postal
employees, and other vol-
unteers, the drive has de-
livered more than one bil-
lion pounds of food over
the past 24 years.
This year we are proud
to announce that Upland
will be taking part in this
amazing event. Your do-
nation will have a direct
impact on our community,
as all food will be used to
stock the shelves of Help-
ing Hand’s food pantry.
To participate, simply
place non-perishable food
items in a grocery bag by
your mailbox on Saturday
May13th. Please set your
bag out by 11am. Volun-
teers will come by later
that day to pick up the
food. You may also par-
ticipate by taking food di-
rectly to the Helping Hand
at 64 W. Railroad Avenue,
Upland, between 9 am to
3 pm.
Please remember to
thank your local letter car-
riers for their effort and
support in making this
food drive a success. Look
for a “Stamp out Hunger”
card in your mailbox the
week of May 7-13 as a re-
minder.
With 49 million people
facing hunger every day in
America, including nearly
16 million children, this
drive is one way you can
help make sure our friends
and neighbors in Upland
have enough to eat.
