National Association of
Letter Carriers (NALC) Local 1690 President Brian DeBee (left) and West Palm
Beach, FL, Officer In Charge Robert Weiser (right) are committed to making the
2015 NALC Food Drive a huge success.
“If we all work together, we can deliver a bag of hope.” That’s the theme of
the 23rd annual National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food
Drive.
Recently in West Palm Beach,
community food drive representatives met with the U.S. Postal Service and NALC
team to express the need to stock
pantries, particularly in the summer months when children are out of school and
breakfast and lunch programs are not available. Currently nationwide, 49
million Americans --- that’s one in six people --- do not know if they will
have their next meal. The South Florida Food Bank hopes the drive will deliver
500,000 pounds of food for communities in West Palm Beach and the surrounding
areas.
Meeting participants included
Fort Pierce, FL, Letter Carrier Patty Badini; NALC Local 1690 President Brian Debee; Palms Central Station
Letter Carrier/NALC Local 1690 Food Drive Coordinator Starr Hunter; and West
Palm Beach, FL, Officer In Charge Robert Weiser.
