Residents can leave the bag of donations next to their mailbox on May 10 so a letter carrier can pick it up during mail delivery.
Donations can also be dropped off in bins located in the Berkeley Station Post Office and the William Street Post Office lobbies before the food drive. It is requested that the items donated are unexpired, nonperishable food items, canned goods, and boxed or bagged shelf-stable foods.
