Today is National Stamp Out Hunger Day, which is an event organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers and orchestrated through thousands of Post Offices across the country. The event is the nation's largest, single-day food drive. Postal patrons are invited to leave non-perishable food products in a bag beside their mailbox, which are then picked up by the local letter-carrier and ultimately distibuted to a local food pantry. Because Sherborn has a rural post office, they were unable to participate in the program....so Sophia and I brought our food donation down to the Natick Post Office, which was happy to accept Sheborn contributions. http://www.helpstampouthunger.com/ Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.
