This clip is from the Letter Carriers Food drive website: Does my food donation stay local? Yes—all food stays in your local community. It’s not shipped off to some regional distribution center hundreds of miles away. If you want to know where yours is going, call your local post office and ask to speak to your local food drive person. There is also a list of local food drive coordinators posted on the Food Drive tool kit. This effort has been in play for years and I love supporting it.
