In support of the Ashland Emergency Food Bank, we want to share with you an opportunity to participate in the upcoming Stamp Out Hunger event here in our community.
What: National Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive
When: Saturday, May 13th
Where: Right here at home!
How: On Saturday, May 13th, place a few cans or boxes of food in your mailbox, or a bag of groceries by your mailbox, and the postal person will pick it up. They will bring back collected items to the post office on their mail truck where AEFB volunteers and staff will receive the donations, bringing food directly to the food bank from there.
