MTSA Participated in 2009 "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive
Members
of the MTSA again participated in the annual National Association of Letter
Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive on Saturday, May 9, 2009. Last
year MTSA participated by providing transportation services for food collected
by the letter carriers at 22 Cub Food sites around the Twin Cities area.
With cash donations included, over one million pounds of food was collected
last year for this very worthy cause. Information and participants in
the 2008 food drive can be viewed by clicking
here.
This year MTSA members provided transportation services at 29 sites within the Twin Cities metro area. Major sponsors in this event are Minnesota Transport Services Association, Cub Foods, TCF Bank, WCCO Radio and Second Harvest Food Bank. With cash donations included, over 1.2 million pounds of food was collected in the Twin Cities at this year's drive to help feed hungry Minnesotans. In addition, Kato Moving and Storage Co. participated in Mankato (24,165#) and Red's Transfer & Storage participated in St. Cloud (12,960#). Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the generous Minnesotans who gave this year despite the difficult economic times.
A special thank you must be given to the dedicated men and women who had the double duty on May 9th of not only delivering our mail but also picking up food for hungry Minnesotans. The letter carriers and all volunteers did so with enthusiasm and a willingness that was outstanding.
Thank you to all who participated!
