Guam - The season of giving may be over, but the National Association of Letter Carriers seeks to replenish the cabinets of the hungry.

Stamp out hunger coordinator Manny Fejeran says all goods collected will benefit Catholic Social Services, Salvation Army, and Kamalen Karidat. He said, "On May 11 we have a program called Stamp Out Hunger sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers with the help of the postal services we've distributed cards to mailboxes - residential boxes to put out canned goods non perishable items for pickup by carriers on May 11, the day of the drive."

Catholic Social Service's John Chargualaf confirms donations are critical to keep services afloat. "As the years comes by with our experience the volume has greatly increased even our clientele also that we receive during the day almost on a daily basis we'll have walkins asking for food," he said.  

Last year the group collected 7,000 pounds of non-perishable goods. Put out your donation for your carrier tomorrow for pickup or drop your donation off to any post office.
