Local Letter Carriers and Partners Collect More Than 202 Tons of Food
Local letter carriers in Southern Nevada, working with a number of dedicated partners, helped collect 404,028 pounds of non-perishable food during the 2012 National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
That is more than 202 tons of food, which was distributed to more than 20 local food pantries in Southern Nevada to help those who struggle with hunger. Last year, this effort collected 372,789 pounds of food.
“We know we are making a difference,” said Glenn Norton, president of the Las Vegas branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers. “As letter carriers, we see the need every day on our routes, which is why we look forward to this national food drive every year. But we couldn’t make the impact we do without the community’s support, or the support of our amazing partners. On behalf of all our member letter carriers, I offer a sincere thank you.”
