Mail carriers to collect food Saturday

May 6-MOSES LAKE - Mail carriers in Moses Lake will collect food for the Moses Lake Food Bank Saturday, part of the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

"(We're asking) for a small donation of non-perishable food by your mailbox," said carrier Michelle Schmidt, who's coordinating the drive this year for Moses Lake. "And then on Saturday when we're delivering, we'll be picking up the food as we go along our route."

Schmidt suggested marking the food donation clearly, so carriers don't pick up someone's delivery order from a store. Anyone wanting more information can ask their mail carrier.

The drive, put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers the second Saturday in May, has been going on since 1993, according to the NALC's website.
