A big shout out to the #NationalAssiciationOfLetterCarriers for their commitment to Stamp Out Hunger.

Every year our local letter carriers put yellow bags in every mailbox and invite the community to donate food to the local food banks. Saturday was their day to pick up those food bags along with their regular mail and deliver the bags back to a site where food banks could come and collect them.

Mukilteo Food Bank volunteers were on hand today to make numerous trips with our van to pick up bags of donations. Some staged the food at the distribution site. Others were back at the food bank unpacking, weighing, sorting and shelving the items. We received 4,700 pounds of food.

Mukilteo community, we can’t thank you enough for your generous and giving spirit.
