At a June 8 breakfast honoring community volunteers, Feeding South Florida recognized National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 1690 Treasurer Starr Hunter (center) for her promotion of this year’s Letter Carrier Food Drive.

Hunter, who delivers mail from the Palms West Station in West Palm Beach, has contributed to the overall success of the Letter Carrier Food Drive the past 24 years --- and this year was no exception. Hunter promoted the food drive to her colleagues and the public through various communications, including media, and organized the distribution on food drive bags delivered to residents in West Palm Beach and the surrounding area.

Feeding South Florida serves Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties. Through direct-service programs and a network of non-profit partner agencies, including soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, and day cares, Feeding South Florida rescues 44 million pounds of food per year, as well as leads hunger and poverty advocacy efforts and provides innovative programming and education.
