“"I’m so very proud of these students. In their busy academic coursework, they still found time to give back to the community,” said Roger Reece, Associated Churches Executive Pastor.

The 26th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive takes place Saturday, May 12. Food items collected locally will be donated to Associated Churches. Additional information on the national food drive can be found at www.nalc.org/community-service/food-drive.
