Postal carriers to collect ‘Stamp Out Hunger' donations
On May 10, postal carriers will collect in-date, non-perishable food items on their delivery routes. Donation items should be in a bag, and placed in a safe place next to their mailbox.
Once donations are collected and combined, they will be delivered to the designated food bank in your region.
'Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers' annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation's largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States,' said the National Association of Letter Carriers.
The NALC said you can also donate directly to your local food bank.

Here's what we know about celebrations happening across the Indianapolis area. More than a dozen fireworks shows will take place around Indianapolis during the Fourth of July. The holiday falls on a Friday this year, so some events span several days into the weekend and include family friendly festivals, bar crawls for adults, and concerts nearly everyone can enjoy. You can watch fireworks in Avon, Beech Grove, Broad Ripple, Brownsburg, Carmel, Fishers, Indianapolis, Lawrence, Mooresville, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville. Check out for more information about where to celebrate. Many offices and businesses will be closed Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

Fireworks are beautiful to watch, but can be deadly if misused. Fireworks sent an astonishing number of people to the hospital in 2024, numbers that rose sharply by 38% compared to the previous year. Sparkler-related injuries alone cost 1,700 people a trip to the emergency room, according to an estimate by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Overall, nearly 15,000 people were treated for firework-related injuries in hospital emergency rooms across the country last year, in which 11 people died, according to the CPSC. The most common type of injury was burn wounds to hands and fingers. Between fireworks and grilling over the July 4 holiday, there's always a way to get burned. Remember to take precautions. But if someone does get burned at your Independence Day event, here's what you need to know. The burn should be left uncovered, but if EMS is delayed or you're transporting the person for emergency care, "cover the burn loosely with a sterile dressing, a clean dressing or a plastic wrap, if necessary." IU Health emergency department medical director Kevin Moore said anyone with a burn should go to an urgent care office if the wound shows signs of infection. He also suggests calling 911 or going to the emergency department if the burn: More about July 4 safety and burns: Here's how to decide if you should go to the ER. Fireworks are fun.

Anything that sounds loud to us sounds even louder to them," said Dr. Candace Croney in an earlier interview with IndyStar. Croney serves as a professor of Animal Behavior and Well-Being at Purdue University's College of Veterinary Medicine and director of its Center for Animal Welfare Science. "You have this terrible combination of very loud, unpredictable noises and flashes of light. Novelty, for most animals, creates a little bit of stress and fear." In addition to veterinarian-approved medication, experts suggest setting up a quiet space inside your home buffered as much as possible from outside noise. You can make that space feel safe and comfortable by adding the following things:
