Postal Service - A Different Cause

Is there a time when you get to see your postman carry your food items? Well! Be in US to see such kind of things happen. I'm not ridiculing because this is something note worthy!

Like, today I was walking around my mail boxes. There are lots of plastics bags kept on top of the mail boxes with lots of food items inside them. And a big note read USPS Food Drive - May 13th! Wow! Are the United States postal workers facing hunger problem? What does this Food Drive mean? A small search gives the answer!

Something remarkable the postal workers are doing! Creating a change in the society! They collect food from different cities and serve the hunger striken children in & around the city! The statistics on this stands even BIGGER! It seems every year for the past 13 years they have been doing this kind of food drive! The cumulative pounds (in weight) of food they have collected for 13 years has crossed half a billion including the last year's of around 75 million pounds. That's awesome!

USPS, I mean the postal service of United States, which reaches nook & corner of the country is sure a huge organization. When all the workers of this organization, work as a team to help the community with the respecive local community's help, it sure will make a welcome DIFFERENCE! Won't it?
