If it's not too late, remember that Saturday, May 14 is the food drive by the post office. I live in Ocala, FL. The city has 50,000+, along with the outlying districts. Last year the USPS in Ocala had 580,000+ pounds of food donated, which was more food than donated by Atlanta, Detroit and other large cities. Many believe one reason for the high number is the large retiree population here, people who remember what it was like to not have enough food. For myself, every time I go to the grocery store I look for the "buy one, get one free" offers. If I use the product I buy it, keep one for myself and put the other in a bag for the next food drive. Today I had enough to carry over two bags of food.
