On Saturday, May 11, letter carriers in Bluffton and Beaverdam will participate in the Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

The nationwide food drive is the largest one day food collection in the country filling food pantries and food banks. It is easy to help and participate. Just collect and bag non perishable food items or paper products and or toiletries and place by your mailbox (early Saturday morning) or bring them to the Bluffton Post Office.

Do not include expired items or items in glass containers. Postal patrons who live on walking routes are encouraged to bring their items directly to the Post Office.

The Bluffton Food Pantry will be the recipient of the drive. The Community Assistance Program operate the pantry to the benefit of local families in the Bluffton School District
who fall within a certain poverty guideline. 

Sarah Shank and Jami Crawfis are the co-directors of the Community Assistance Program.  According to Shank there are currently 47 families being helped by the program.

Volunteers are being sought to canvas the walking route areas of town. If you would like to volunteer to help out with the Letter Carrier Food Drive please contact Shank at
