The Grapevine: Donations of Thousands of Pounds of Food Takes Place Locally Thanks to Letter Carriers

By Rosalyn Queen on May 19, 2022 from The Grapevine

The National Association of Letter Carriers sponsored their Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive in Harrison County to help put food on America’s tables.
 
They asked local mail recipients to bag healthy, non-perishable food items and place them by their mailboxes for their letter carrier to pick up and deliver to a staging area where the items were separated and packed for local food banks.  Eleven food banks were the recipients of the food. 
 
Those receiving food were.  The Progressive Women's Association, the Salvation Army, Ronald McDonald House, Quiet Dell United Methodist Church, North View United Methodist Church, Mustard Seed, Help on the Horizon, Forward Church, Duff Street United Methodist Church, Connection Point, and the Clarksburg Mission.
 
Thousands of pounds of food were collected by the carriers and volunteers brought the food to the local Post Office, where volunteers distributed the food to the local food banks. Special items were boxed for use at the Ronald McDonald House for families staying there while a family member is hospitalized.
 
All donations stay within our community.
 
Brandon Musgrave volunteered as the coordinator for this year’s drive.  Musgrave is a Harrison County mail carrier.
 
Stay healthy and until next week “Now You Have Heard It Through The Grapevine.”
 
Editor's Note: Pictured, from left, are Randall Lynch, PWA member; Rosalyn Queen PWA Treasurer; Becky Wade, assistant coordinator; and Betty Waddy, PWA president in front of food gathered in U.S. Postal Service crates.
