National Association of Letter Carriers’ Food Drive - Saturday May, 12
On Saturday, May 12, the National Association of Letter Carriers will help Stamp Out Hunger across America. Now in its 20th year, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive.
Helping Stamp Out Hunger is as easy as checking your mailbox. Just leave a bag of non-perishable food where your letter carrier normally delivers your mail on Saturday, May 12. Your letter carrier will then pick up your donations. The food will be distributed to many pantries in Midland County. This is one of the last major collections to help fill the pantry shelves before the summer months.

Pantry at Wheeler Road Church of Christ Joins EFPN
Wheeler Road Church of Christ (WRCC) located at 1123 E. Wheeler Street is the newest pantry in the EFPN Network. WRCC has had a pantry for 21 years. They decided to join the network in 2011 to take advantage of a central person to screen requests and also get food from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. The pantry is opened on Wednesdays and is experimenting with having evening pantry hours and becoming a “U-Pick” pantry. U-Pick allows clients to select their own food. Memorial Presbyterian HELP pantry is also a “U-Pick” pantry.
