SUMMARY:Postal Service Food Drive to Support CROS Pantries
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:\n\nBoynton Main\, Boynton Downtown\, and Delray Main post offices are helping fight food insecurity on Saturday\, May 9. As part of the national Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive\, these post offices are collecting non-perishable food items to support CROS Ministries\, a leading South Florida nonprofit providing hunger relief in Palm Beach County. \n\nThe food collected stays local and goes directly to CROS' food pantries nine sites throughout Palm Beach County\, including one at the Neighborhood Resource Center in Delray Beach.\n\nWHY:\n\nIn partnership with these three post office branches\, CROS aims to collect 25\,000 pounds of food to help stamp out hunger throughout the high-demand summer months. They are in need of healthy\, non-perishable canned or boxed food items. Preferred items include: canned fruit\, peanut butter\, canned meat\, canned soups\, mac 'n cheese.\n\nThis drive serves as CROS Ministries' biggest source of food collection for the upcoming season. With the rising cost of groceries and gas\, CROS anticipates increased individuals and families will be seeking food assistance. \n\nHOW:\n\nThe letter carriers of these select post offices have the opportunity to opt-in to their route participating in the drive. The carriers deliver postcards announcing the drive to the residents and drop off bags to be filled. On May 9\, the carriers pick up the bags of food that are then unloaded from their mail trucks and sorted by CROS Ministries volunteers.\n\nIf you are not a resident served by one of these post offices\, you can drop off non-perishable food items directly at Boynton Main (1530 Boynton Beach Blvd.)\, Boynton Downtown (217 N. Seacrest Blvd.)\, or Delray Main (14280 S. Military Trl). \n\nOr if you are interested in hosting your own food drive to fight local food insecurity\, email browe@crosministries.org.
