I hope this email finds everyone well during Holy Week!
We have learned from the Letter Carriers Union that the Stamp Out Hunger Food Driver for May 9, 2020 will be postponed to a later date that is unknown at this time due to the Covid-19. RCS Pinellas truly appreciates your support and we will be in contact with other ways to support feeding the hungry in Pinellas County.
Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions.
Thanks

Stamp Out Hunger is the nation's largest single-day food drive. In 2019, generous postal carriers collected over 90,000 pounds of non-perishable food from the community while on their delivery route. This food is then delivered to community food banks, pantries, and shelters, providing families in need with a lifeline of basic nutrition.
With kids out of school lunch programs and the departure of our winter guests, RCS’s food needs increase greatly during the summer months. The Stamp Out Hunger initiative helps the RCS food bank continue to serve our community throughout the year.
We appreciate your consideration in lending your time and efforts to RCS. It is community supporters like you who are providing help and hope to those in need.
