The annual National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food Drive will be held on May 10.
The NALC saw a need this time of year for a food drive. This is when food donations are low and the need is up because children are not at school getting lunches. This is the largest one day food drive in the United States.
This food drive has been a big success in the past for the Clarkston community.
Although this is a national effort, the food collected stays in the local communities. The food collected in Clarkston goes to Lighthouse North in Clarkston.
Donations should be nonperishable, canned or dried goods. Lighthouse can’t pass out outdated, opened or food in damaged containers.
On Saturday, May 10 individuals wanting to donate should place the donation in their mailboxes for the letter carriers to pick up.
Volunteers from the community such as St. Daniel’s Church and the ABC Harley Davison Motor Cycle Club and Clarkston High School have been a great help in the past and will be needed again this year.
If anyone wishes to volunteer their services or support the volunteers on the day of the food drive, please contact either Lighthouse or the Clarkston Post Office.
