Community's generous spirit helps feed neighbors in need, ‘Stamp Out Hunger'
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The National Association of Letter Carriers and the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank hosted the 'Stamp Out Hunger' initiative, which turned out to be a successful event. On Saturday, May 11, the letter carriers' route stops were a little more special as they picked up food donations that residents had left out and later donated to local food banks. The Wichita Falls Area Food Bank serves 12 counties, and with the community's help, together an incredible 38,303 pounds of food was donated. This equates to 31,919 meals. Now that this food has been donated to the food bank, it will be distributed to neighbors in need. With that being said, the WFAFB needs volunteers to help process this food so our neighbors in need can receive it. For more information, contact the WFAFB at (940) 766-2322.
